Jayne Mansfield - That Makes It! (1966)

[gregoryagogo]

Ronald Reagan dreams of Jayne Mansfield?! LOL (the guy looks like Ronnie-Baby) 

[Steamaddict1603]

This is the response song to the Big Bopper's Chantilly Lace. It was made after the Bopper died in 59 with Buddy Holly, and Ritchie Valens. Too bad he died because he most likely would have loved this.

[mbblover]

the pics of jayne in utterly too tight miniskirts and go-go boots are so bad! she was desperate to be relevant and still seen as a blonde sex symbol, perhaps THE sex symbol now that marilyn had gone. marilyn in the mid 60's at age 39/40 would have gone for the classic beauty with just a touch of sex appeal look. she would never have gone with the trying to be a swinging 20 year old that jayne in her mid 30's was trying and failing to pull off. kind of sad actually.

[mbblover]

jayne wanted to reach marilyn stardom heights, she thought she had to act "even dumber" than the dumb blonde image mariyn eventually hated with all her being. the thing is marilyn didn't want to be a joke, jayne seem to revel in it as long as she got attention, jayne might have thought she was in on it, but why because she was the one doing it? jayne suffered because it was said she was now a caricature of a dead woman, plus that persona was so over by the mid 60's!

[RareBirdSought]

Jayne Mansfield is the original wardrobe malfunction of Hollywood. Her style was a shot at classic Hollywood style, sticking it to the studio with a smile. She was a woman that understood her power and played on it in her own way. You can't call her a dumb blond, because she was allways in on the joke. She allways knew that the fellas were'nt looking at her eyes, and did'nt seem to mind.

[JubalCalif]

With a name like "Las Vegas Hillbillies" , the viewer knew not to expect any Oscar contender...but it sure looks like a lot of fun..with a lot of familiar Hollywood faces! THANKS for posting this delightful clip! :)

[tomovox]

...the woman was very articulate and intelligent. Even when discussing her career, she knew it was the Blonde Bombshell role that would sell and get her career rolling. It's so unfourtnate that she became trapped with that image- I believe, if given the right role and production, she would have surprised many with an abillity to do dramatic, straight roles. Maybe I'm off, but do believe she could have done more if she had the right and bigger budget opportunities.

[tomovox]

The thing I found the most intriguing about Jayne Mansfield is how she did these amazing transformations depending on the appearance or show or venue. I saw the Biorgraphy episode focused on her and I was astonished how she could skillfully (skillfully, because she knew she was playing an image game) play the Sex Kitten / Marilyn Monroe role. Then, when she did talk shows, she had the look of classy, smart, socialite or sometimes she came across like an everyday, PTA Mom. The woman was...

[richierichnumber1]

Jayne was so much fun....RIP GF

[Cidantis]

what the shit?

[kookooboy]

Jayne was only in 3 or 4 "quality" films. none of them great, before her cinematic star fell, although some people like the awfulness of her campier roles. There is something appealing about her earlier work, but this has a desperate quality that is semi disturbing

[dowling1981]

@kookooboy Please do not objectify her. She has feelings, ken?

[BootzyBelt]

This is WONDERFUL!

[MrTylerS123]

I feel sorry for all the bombshells to be honest.they all died young with a few exceptions....including Mamie..wasn't she also in this film? If so could you post any of her scenes?

[BrickLaneBetty]

Not true at all. Jane Russell, Anita Ekberg, Raquel Welch, Liz Taylor, Sophia Loren, Bardot, Cardinale, Ann-margaret and many many others are still going strong!

Yes, Mami was in this and she HATED JM and vice versa, they had to never appear together.

[officialpickle]

well really,mamie & jayne Hated working together as actress.but in real life,the where nice to eachother.like in 1963,mamie thru a very huge hollywood pary for the wrap for her movie 3 nuts in search of a boilt. and she invited jayne to the party,not something you would do if you hated a person

[BrickLaneBetty]

Wow, that is wonderful. mami is amazing. still standing!

[MrTylerS123]

@BrickLaneBetty That's true, I didn't think about it that way. I wasn't trying to be offensive if i was. I was thinking about the Platinum Blonde bombshells...Marilyn Mamie Jayne, Sherree and Joi and Cleo

[55chevyguy12]

this song was actually an answer to The Big Bopper's "Chantilly Lace". if anybody noticed the similarity between the two.

[alSation81]

someone had posted a remixed version of this song on youtube and it has disappeared but was great .... anyone remember it/ know where it went???

[MerleOberon]

At least Jayne was spared appearing on "The Love Boat"

[phizgp]

Sorry, I'm allergic to feathers.

The guys are pretty hot, though!

[mrshinyshoes]

Agreed! I liked how men dressed and "looked" in the early 1960s----their suits were snug and form-fitting, their hair slick and masculine, and even their shoes were sharp and sexy.

[hebneh]

Oh my.

Jayne certainly was one of a kind, but she'd turned into a caricature of herself by this time.

[wessexsmartarse1]

Why didnt Hollywood producers give Jayne Mansfield, serious film roles....??? She would have been fantastic in roles like..." cat on a hot tin roof " or something similar !! !!

[gerelepo]

"Ooooh! That's so kinky!!" :)

[rainranda5]

Is this really how people talked back then LOL crazy man crazy

[joeblowthehot]

divoooon...yeah

[waif55]

I know you love Jayne, and I think she was great, but had she ever been "huge box office" Fox wouldn't have dumped her. Her career decline began before Monroe's death, and before styles changed in bombshells. Look, she was swapping night club dates with Mamie Van Doren! There wasn't much left, tho "Single Room Furnished" provided some hypnotic moments. Had she lived, that performance might have changed a few vital perceptions. But let's not argue. She was...divoon!

[officialpickle]

she wus a very big box office queen at het time.her last big movie wus in 1963,and that wus promises! promises!.after that it wus really done for her.

but even tho her acting wus dead,she did stay a big name in magazines.every actress has a down fall.i think she could have had a come back,but we will never know,cuz look wus happened

[jaynemansfield1967]

when jayne died, she was filling in for van doren or else she wouldn't have been killed and Sam Brody owed Jimmy Hoffa money, that's why she went on the road

[waif55]

Jayne had her own thing, all right--it was called over-the-top publicity! By 1960, the public had had it with Jayne, and so had Hollywood. She was never "box office" and ended her career in cheap nightclubs. She had her own talent, and would have been better off NOT starting out spoofing MM. But once that caught on, she couldn't let go. Well, just like MM couldn't let go of her image, the image she created, and Jayne...enlarged.

[xXPinkGoddessXx]

She didn't end her career in "cheap" nightclubs, she performed at packed clubs that paid anywhere from $8,000-$17,000 a week, a huge sum back then. Jayne was queen of the Fox lot in 1957 and a huge box office attraction, her career declined in the 60's as did every actress's career, especially the bombshells'. By spoofing the blonde bombshell image Jayne was not only creating her own distinct image, she was reflecting her own over the top personality. And she never wanted to 'let go' of that.

[defundthewar]

Jayne did make a return engagement at NY's Latin Quarter run by Lou Walters (Barbara's dad) that was very successful in the 60s but other than that it was downhill fast. Her very last engagement was at Gus Stevens' Supper Club in Biloxi. Prior to that she played the coal mine and dock circuit during her British tour near the end of her life. As much as I like Jayne in a nostalgic way, no, she was never a big star much less queen of Fox, but look around now- there are a lot of Jayne imitators.

[jgbennie]

Marvin Miller is the voiceover guy

[shaspassren]

what a lost to all men

[drcoxcentral]

Yes we are all crying till our eyes gone red!

[lovemesomekatemoss]

Jayne is sooo different than Marilyn. They are both amazing. I hate it when they call Jayne The Poor Man's Marilyn. She had her own thing. They just were both blondes.

[stedyplotn]

Who ever said that? I never heard of that in all my life ever! What is there "poor" about JM?, or about a guy who's with her??

[xXPinkGoddessXx]

It was a silly moniker that the press gave to Jayne after her death. People seem to have an obsession with comparing Hollywood stars and labelling them in comparison to others.

[officialpickle]

what are your fav jayne movies ? in order

[jaynemansfield1967]

actually Jayne was supposed to be a "Super Monroe".....

[Marisuka44]

@lovemesomekatemoss thank you agree with u all the way

[AriesDUDE97]

DAMN Jayne Mansfield looks HHOOTT

[shaspassren]

WOW

[64098]

Jayne looks good in this video, I prefer the '50s early '60s bombshell look, the later "go-go" look with minis and boots were too much on the survivors, and were somewhat cartoony, in my opinion.

[kraftwerk2012]

couldn't agree more.

Jayne was a beautiful woman, but in this movie the wardrobe department is not her best friend: she gets to wear all these mumsy mumu dresses and concrete wigs.

It's even more painful when you see the scenes she shares with Mamie van Doren. I think Jayne is two years younger than van Doren, but here she looks like her mother.

[xXPinkGoddessXx]

Actually Jayne didn't share any scenes with Mamie, she requested that she receive star billing as well as that the two would never be in the same room together! The scenes where they are with each other were separately filmed.

[PlatinumBlonde87]

she was such a goddess!!

[sanchorb]

Ha ha, love the go-go dancing at 35 seconds into the video. It seems that this song was inspired by Big Bopper´s "Chantilly Lace", based on what the girl could have been saying at the other end of the line.

[shaggycub]

It actually was based on "Chantilly Lace". This song is an "answer song" to that one-about 6 years after the original. The actual single begins with the phone ringing and what's supposed to be on the other end of The Big Bopper's famous phone call.

[bellgardens53]

shaggy...yup, you're right!

[blondebabydollbeauty]

I don't think she looks like Marilyn in this one...

[xXPinkGoddessXx]

In 1966, the classic 50's bombshell style was long gone and the previous 50's blondes were all wearing piles of wigs and heavy eye makeup. It makes me wonder what Marilyn would have looked like had she lived to that time!

[blondebabydollbeauty]

Yeah, well Marilyn died in 1962 so I guess that was the 60's?? I guess you're talking about later on... I wonder too. I guess she would have followed the trend to some degree!!! I don't really like this wig on Jayne, it transforms her from a Jayne bombshell to a plain Jayne if u know what I mean??

[xXPinkGoddessXx]

Yes, I was referring to the later 60's. I prefer the 50's bombshells too, just so much more glamorous!! I think Jayne preferred the wild and campy styles of the 60's though, especially since she didn't have to follow the mould set by Fox anymore after they dropped her. I love how she looked so over-the-top and drag-queenish, she really had fun with her look.

[RyanCardinale]

She was barely 33 in this film but with all the booze, drugs, and promiscuous sex, she looked 50. Nasty ole pig!

[anhacus]

She was married to Mickey Hargitay and had five children. I don't think it's exactly as you describe. This is probably a gut reaction, but if you do a little research I think you'll differ with your own opinion.

[YouBetterRRRecognize]

Her daughter is Mariska Hargitay on Law and Order SVU, notice their resemblance.

[anhacus]

Yes. Absolutely. Isn't weird she was in the backseat the night her mother died? Sad. Very sad.  You might also find it strange, and has been observed by many, that if Jayne makes her presence known the light bulbs glow pink.

[mrshinyshoes]

Mariska doesn't come close to her mother in looks. In fact, she's not beautiful at all like Jayne was. Mariska lacks the feminine features of her mother, she looks more like her dad.

[JudgeJulieLit]

Mariska is beautiful in her own way . . . like her mama, statuesque, beautiful eyes, lips and face. But (perhaps because of the way her mother ended) she has a unique beauty of moral earnestness: in her character on L&Order, she is truth, goodness, and our American ideal of Girl Next Door as an avenger for justice. In that sense, a deeper, more wholesome (holistic) beauty than Jayne -- she disdains to be a floozy, out of control of her fate.

[xXPinkGoddessXx]

I don't think Jayne was "out of control of her fate" at all, much the opposite. And in the time she grew up in, that was quite exceptional.

[Marisuka44]

@mrshinyshoes sorry but mariska gots her moms eyes and smile

[mrshinyshoes]

@Marisuka44 She does, but when you put the entire package together, Mariska just "doesn't have it". Her mother's overall face and figure, as well as her feminine demeanor, nothing can compare to Jayne Mansfield.

[LoveNikki06]

She didn't take drugs, Jayne was totally against drugs.

[xXPinkGoddessXx]

The only drugs Jayne took were diet pills, although "diet pills" in those days weren't the over the counter stuff we get today, they were pretty much amphetamines.

[Marisuka44]

@RyanCardinale get a life

[farmerbrown2a]

WILD AND DAZZLING! this video makes me want to leave the shades up while I take a long hot bubble bath.

[Jomei2810]

Jayne In Her OFF-Days. She Was Out In The Filmindustry, Did A Few European-Movies, They All Flopped And Her Seximage Was Snow From Yesterday At That Time. Still, She Was Beautifull.

[sheruinsyou]

Great song and video! Jayne rocks!

[VanGfools]

That's cute,she is very sexy!

[harried1]

Jayne must have been aware of how campy this material was; she really had a fantastic sense of humor! Love her!

[mi55coo]

i think she's sexy, and it's a sexy song..got it on cd..

[smiledesigns]

Great to see since I can't seem to find the movie. Thanks!!

[DA90027]

I LOVE JAYNE, but she danced like she was trying to get a piece of jello out of her panties! This was high camp and it is a shame you will never see anything or any era like this again. At least I was there and we have these treasures to look at now. The world sucks now, nothing is this fun or light anymore!

[xXPinkGoddessXx]

Stunningly beautiful, always a knockout! And after all those kids, WOW!

[hilljayne]

Take into consideration she had just given birth less than a month before this was filmed.

[83056]

LOL @ the piece of jello gag. :)

[paultinsel]

this is soooo cool daddy-o

[PerfectCries]

i don't know why everyone fusses over marilyn monroe.

jayne mansfield was the REAL hollywood girl in the scene.

she should get more praise that monroe does. ;o

[potrobsas]

You are drunken ? It is like comparing champagne (Marilyn) with ordinary wine (Jayne Mansfield)

[xXPinkGoddessXx]

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Frankly, is you consider Jayne "ordinary wine", why exactly are you watching her videos? ;)

[turhanuzman]

fully agree with you...lets assume for a while that the statement true then what is the sense in drinking 'ordinary wine' while 'champagne' is waiting for us to take it...

[blondebabydollbeauty]

you're a keen fan of both Jayne & Marilyn, right!!!?!

[missmonroe26]

lol some people dont see that

[jaynemansfield1967]

I don't think so; it would be like comparing cook's champagne (marilyn) with don perignon (Jayne).... not that I don't like both Jayne and Marilyn....

[blondebabydollbeauty]

no...

[mansfield67]

One of the real sex symbols of our time, the one and only Jayne Mansfield ! I am still pissed of they tore down The Pink Palace...a Hollywood landmark !

[seanharrington]

That still kills me, and then they tore down The Ambassador/Cocoanut Grove, disgusting, but it's great we atleast have these little clips of the swingin' days of Hollywood!

[mansfield67]

Yes, it is disgusting ! But your right, we have these treasures to enjoy. Thanks to all those who post these gems of an era that no longer exists.

[hilljayne]

My idol!

[tomyaz]

JAYNE WAS FANTASTIC! She died way too young!

[guy18]

love it! i have always wanted too see this :D Thanks so much for posting this :D

[nese67]

She was 33 here...sad to believe she died at 34 (1 year later) in a car accident =(

[blondebabydollbeauty]

that's tragic!!!!!!!!!!!!

[VintageVids100]

She Makes Me Feel So FINE_
