This Is Your Life - Jayne Mansfield (1/3)

This episode of This Is Your Life features Jayne Mansfield as the celebrity guest. Host Ralph Edwards introduces Mansfield's mother and step-father, her counselor from Southern Methodist
University, show business friends and her husband Miklós Hargitay and children.

This series ran from 1952 to 1961. The show's format was a documentary which provided a biography of the guest by featuring surprise visits from influential figures in the guest's life.

Interesting comments from Wikipedia:

Some celebrities were unpleasantly surprised. Angie Dickinson refused to appear, and Stan Laurel of Laurel and Hardy was angered by being "tricked" into what would be the team's only American television appearance on 1 December 1954. The meticulous Laurel later said, "[Oliver Hardy] and I were always planning to do something on TV. But we never dreamed that we would make our television debut on an unrehearsed network program... I was damned if I was going to put on a free show for them," although he mellowed in later years when so many viewers told him how much they enjoyed the show. Lowell Thomas was probably the most hostile and annoyed on-air guest. When host Ralph Edwards tried to assure him that he would enjoy what was to come, Thomas replied, "I doubt that very much."

it's sad that Jayne was 3 years old when her dad died (heart attack) while driving and she was in the backseat, and her daughter, Mariska Hargitay (Law & Order:SVU's Olivia Benson), was 3 years old in the backseat when Jayne died in car accident.

@kovik62 Whats the differance between a rich bitch and a tampon ? there is no differance they are both stuck up cunts

[PINKSUNSET66]

@BedazzleGlitterGal is Luka Magnotta related to Jayne Mansfield in any way?

[kovik62]

Jayne Mansfield comes off as a genuinely sweet person, nothing put on or stuck up about her at all. It's too bad you can't say that about so many actresses today who mistakenly think that being beautiful, sexy and famous is an excuse for having a rotten attitude.

It's heartbreaking to think how Jayne died and how her mother outlived her and lost her only child. very sad...
