THE NEW 352 PAGE 8.25 x 11 COFFEE TABLE PICTURE BOOK!
A true Hollywood legend, actress Jayne Mansfield appeared in twenty-nine films, but she was also a musician and a comedienne. Her IQ was reported to have been 163. She was also the mother of five, including Mariska Hargitay, the star of the hit TV show L...aw and Order. It is because of Ferruccio’s close connection to Jayne Mansfield’s children that the author can now reveal so much about the famed sex symbol, and his new biography covers her life from the birth of the Aries star through her early motherhood. He goes into her use by Fox, her love and marriage, and her life after the era of the Blonde Bombshells, Monroe and Mansfield, had finally ended. Although candid in its recounting of Jayne’s indulgences, Did Success Spoil Jayne Mansfield is also a fitting and fascinating tribute to the actress and the golden era of film which gave her fame. It is the perfect companion piece to Ferruccio’s first biography of the great actress, Diamonds to Dust, The Life and Death of Jayne Mansfield. |
