50 Years Since Jayne Partied with The Beatles

On the 25th of August 1964 Jayne and husband Matt met with the Beatles at The Whisky-A-Go-Go. It is often believed that it was all Jayne's idea to meet with them to gain publicity. But in actual fact, it was they who wanted to meet Jayne. Upon arriving in the States one of the band members declared that the only movie star he wished to meet was Jayne Mansfield.  After the meeting they did not speak kindly of Jayne, I guess they wished to forget the whole ordeal as George received bad press that night for throwing a glass of water at a photographer, hitting not the photographer but Mamie Van Doren instead.

Jayne Mansfield's Family Legacy

When asked to think of Jayne Mansfield's legacy I know many will think of her best movies, her publicity gimmicks or her thousands upon thousands of photographs left behind for future generations to enjoy. And yes those are all apart of her ultimate legacy. Jayne has been gone for 47 years and the majority of her fans today were not even born in her life time. This just proves the kind of lasting power Jayne has on this world. She might not be remembered to the heights of Marilyn Monroe, James Dean or Elvis Presley but that doesn't matter. She is strongly and fondly remembered by many and is constantly lapping up new fans. With that said it is in this blogger's opinion that Jayne Mansfield's first and foremost legacy on this world is in fact not the fame she still holds to this day but her family legacy. Jayne gave birth to 5 beautiful and healthy babies in her lifetime. Each of them grew up to have their own children. Jayne's eldest Jayne Marie is the only of Jayne's kids who is a grandparent. Here is a quick simple family tree I whipped up using information from various ancestry sites. It is not a complete family tree, but just a quick one to show her kids, grandkids and great grandkids. An extensive family tree would show all the spouses and their sides of their family (including the family of Mickey Hargitay's first born Tina) but today I just wanted to focus on the Jayne Mansfield descendants. I have been lucky enough to have spoken with a handful of Jayne's family members (in laws included) and they are a magical bunch of people, so warm and friendly and proud of everything Jayne did. Jayne truly did leave a beautiful legacy behind.

Jayne Mansfield Shaving T-Shirt

French label Vintedge Clothing has released  a t-shirt with an image of Jayne Mansfield shaving her face. Now the company might not know this (or even yourself for that matter) but there is actually a significance in the image because if anyone else out there has seen Jayne's 1966 Milton Berle episode in full you will remember that in one of the comedy skit segments Jayne is seen sitting in front of a mirror shaving her face in an attempt to feel like a man. Below is an image of the shirt that is for sale. It appears that they do not offer any international transactions however we have many French readers out there so perhaps there may be some eager fans to get this strange design t-shirt for their collections.

Wig Stylist Recounts Meeting with Jayne Mansfield

The Gleason job, for instance, came a couple of years after she first worked on a week’s worth of his shows that aired from Palm Beach. Actress and voluptuous pinup Jayne Mansfield was a guest on one, but she didn’t show up for rehearsal earlier in the day, finally breezing in around 7 p.m. for a show that would go on live in an hour. She wasn’t anything like camera-ready and kept roaming around her dressing room.

“I said, ‘Miss Mansfield, will you sit down and let me do your makeup? The whole world is waiting to see your beautiful face,’ ” Regina says. She and the star clicked, and Mansfield held the stylist’s pile of rollers, handing them off one at a time.

“At 10 to 8, she walked out. Jackie thought she was a vision. When it was all over and we were saying our goodbyes, I said, ‘If you ever come back to Miami, let me know.’ Two years later, I got the call,” she says.
