VHS Movie Reviews of Biography - Jayne Mansfield [VHS]
Movie Review: "Will Success Spoil Jayne Mansfield"?
Summary: 5 Stars
This A&E Biography of the glamorous and eccentric Jayne Mansfield who died June 29th 1967 of a fatal car accident is a very accurate and rather intimate account of Jayne's life. With ex- husband Mickey Hargitay, yes that is Mariska Hargitay's father and Jayne was her mother, recalling their marriage, their three children in which they were also in Jayne's car when she died, but were not badly injured and Jayne's immense and unusual larger than life image and personality. Jayne is often compared to THE #1 sex goddess of all time, Marilyn Monroe. While Jayne physically resembled Marilyn Monroe, the two women were really rather very different. Monroe gave off an innocence, a vulnerability and magical presence. Jayne's image was tougher, more false and a little threatening to American men in the 50's, whereas Marilyn did not seem threatening at all. While Marilyn's image said "look, but don't touch" Jayne's image simply said "devour me" thus more of a put-on. However, Jayne held her own and a big difference between the two was that Jayne could bear children, she had five altogether, while Marilyn could not but desperately wanted to. Jayne was a very loving and attentive mother despite her career. Jayne's first child, Jayne Marie Mansfield, was born when Jayne was only seventeen with her first husband, Paul Mansfield. Jayne kept her married name of her first husband because she said that it "sounded like a star". She was born Vera Jayne Palmer on April 19th, 1933. Lovely Jayne was just thirty-four when this horrible accident robbed her of her life. She will always be remembered and live on in the hearts of those who loved her, including her fans. A must see!
