Jayne Mansfield

Jayne Mansfield (April 19, 1933 – June 29, 1967) was an American actress working both on Broadway and in Hollywood.[1] One of the leading blonde sex symbols of the 1950s,[2] Mansfield starred in several popular Hollywood films that emphasized her platinum-blonde hair, hourglass figure and cleavage-revealing costumes, also having the ability to play the violin.[3]
While Mansfield's film career was short-lived, she had several box office successes and won the Theatre World Award, a Golden Globe and a Golden Laurel.
Mansfield is well-remembered for her starring roles in 20th Century Fox comedy films The Girl Can't Help It (1956) and Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? (1957) and tackled a straight role in The Wayward Bus (1957). As the demand for blonde bombshells declined in the 1960s Mansfield remained a popular celebrity, continuing to attract large crowds outside the U.S. and in lucrative and successful nightclub tours. Her film career continued in lower budget melodramas and comedies, many filmed in the United Kingdom and Europe, including Promises! Promises! (1963), in which she appeared nude.
Mansfield had been a Playboy Playmate of the Month and appeared in the magazine several additional times.
She died in an automobile accident at age 34.
