  • Mamie still rocks at 80!

  • Despite being a popular sex symbol of the mid to late 1950s, and up until the early-1960s, Mamie Van Doren, never obtained superstardom. In most of her features, Van Doren played a second fiddle to more talented and more respected performers. Howevwer, she was known as "Universal's Marilyn", making notice to Mamie being Universal Studio's answer/version of 20th Century Fox's Marilyn Monroe. In today's world, Van Doren doesn't hang on with a large classical following.

  • I know I said she wasn't a superstar, but I must admit that Mamie is hot. She is especially smokin' in the opening sequence of her from 1964's "3 Nuts in Search of a Bolt".

  • @1967mansfield Actually, I've read magazines from the 1959-60 peroid calling her "The fifth highest female box office attraction" in America. She made 10,000 a week by her night club act, so I reckon to disagree with you politely!!! I think that's more than Jayne Mansfield made..

  • An intereting lady, good she speaks out before it is too late. 

  • '...I mean it was inbelievable.' You can hear her dentures knocking around in her mouth...I believe that women should respect their age.

  • @toontownkiddy Me too, she has a really good plastic surgeon and really good genes I guess. I mean, she's as old as my grandma and looks so much younger...

  • @MrTylerS123 Yes. Mamie Van Doren was "Universal's version of Monroe", I guess. :P

  • Anybody else notice how they play Marilyn Monroe's "I wanna be loved by you"?

  • She looks like lady gaga. But 55 years old.

  • so I was with my mom and she was watching say yes to the dress and she was on and I asked my mom is she like 26 or 27 and she said 80 I almost fainted
