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.
