Jayne Mansfield & Mickey Hargitay Fairytale Love

"Once upon a time a beefcake and a bombshell fell madly in love.

They started a family and lived in a pink castle.

While time and differences would separate their marital union,

they forever remained best friends and their mutual love for one another was strong.

Sadly tragic circumstances stole the bombshell away from the world. 

The Beefcake found his soul mate and together they brought up his children with pride,

But he never forgot his bombshell, his best friend, his fairytale love."

This is their story, their true story, it is a sad story and some footage is not for the faint hearted, it will pull at your heart strings because this story really happened. I believe Mickey lived out the rest of his life with happiness. Mickey Hargitay left this world in 2006 and has since then been once again reunited with his best friend. May they both rest in peace.

The song teamed with the footage was not my original choice however the song I wished to use is blocked on youtube by the copyright holders so I thought this one was a nice substitute. 

*Please note* the photo of Mickey holding a baby stated it to be second son Zoltan however it is actually first son Mickey Jr.

Jayne Mansfield Scene from Follow The Sun The Dumbest Blonde

Our latest video is a scene from Jayne's episode of Follow The Sun titled the Dumbest Blonde. In the scene Jayne is seen swimming, roasting marshmallows, hiding in the back seat of a car and playing dumb to a group of snobs at a snooty party. Jayne was a brilliant actress and she had the chance to prove her acting skills in episodes like this one (as well as Burke's Law & The Alfred Hitchcock Hour) more so than she did in the B grade movies she was cast in. If you have not seen this television appearance before, we hope you enjoy this scene.

Remembering Karlheinz Böhm 16 March 1928 - 29 May 2014

Karlheinz Bohm, often called Karl Boehm starred along side Jayne Mansfield in one of her best movies Too Hot to Handle. The film was one of many where Fox would loan Jayne out to to foreign film companies. Too Hot to Handle was filmed at Borehamwood Studios in the UK which was owned and operated by MGM. Karl was an Austrian actor who was most known in Austria and Germany. Later in life he became very active in charity work for people in need in Ethiopia. Karl was sadly suffering from Alzheimer's disease and passed away earlier this year at the age of 86. Like most of her co-stars Jayne got along really well with Karl. After wrapping up filming Jayne and Karl planned a farewell dinner with their spouses. The dinner was a publicity purpose wrap up. A reporter and photographer attended and it was reported in Film Revue. The magazine reported that the men were the ones cooking dinner however after waiting too long for dinner to be prepared the ladies took to the stove and carried on from where their husbands left off. A well panned out publicity gimmick indeed.

Jayne Mansfield on The Jack Benny Show in 1963 Doing a Remake of Marilyn Monroe Episode

So far all of our YouTube video's have mostly been candid archive footage so we have decided to start including more of Jayne's television appearances starting with her 1963 appearance on the Jack Benny Show. Jayne's episode was titled Jack Takes Boat to Hawaii and was a remake of a Marilyn Monroe episode which had aired a decade prior titled Honolulu Trip. The Marilyn Monroe episode can be viewed on Youtube and if you compare the two performances you will see just how different these two beautiful  ladies were in their profession. Their acting techniques were completely different. Jayne who had not only acted in movies but stage work as well as hundreds of live television appearances beams with confidence and is right at home not only that but she looks absolutely radiant, Enjoy.
