Hollywood's Fallen Angel

Bold, brash, and smart as a whip, Jayne Mansfield simply loved to push the limits of decency. Making great use of her buxom figure, Mansfield was not only a rabidly popular actress, but also one of the most vivacious and visible icons of her age-until it all ended in one of the most shocking tragedies Hollywood had ever seen.

It's nice that these readers know the correct facts. Jayne was not decapitated. The funeral director who prepared Jayne for burial, confirmed her body was whole. She was very intelligent, brilliant at learning foreign languages. She made a movie in Germany. There, the director asked Jayne to use English and explained it will be dubbed into German. Jayne told him: "That won't be necessary, I can speak German." Her German was so good that her dialogue wasn't dubbed. Jayne was called a dumb blonde, she wasn't dumb and she wasn't blonde. In Italy she was voted Film Actress of the year. Sophia Loren had won this title the previous two years. Sexy shapely Jayne put Sophia to the sword and dethroned her. This was a popularity contest, rather than an acting award. It shows that Italian men have good eyes and healthy hormones. Her early death was a tragedy. Yet, her memory lives because she was a gorgeous movie Goddess who we can enjoy on DVD.

[@velocity5918]

NOT exactly correct, Jane's head was removed clean off center of the forehead, it's in the autopsy report. That was a very commen injury back large car hoods did not fold up in center of hood, the hood simply rose up on the hinge springs and the impact drove the hood thru the A piller posts and windshields dismembering anyone in the front seats. Rolled up on an accident late one night on I- 75 Florida when a drunk driver drove northbound on the southbound lane hitting a family in a vanad on, the hood of the drunk drivers large car went half way thru the whole car, his head was on the floor in the back seat area. Modern designs mandated a folding hood nack on the late 80's This design changes has saved countless lives.

[@StephenGaristo-ir3ff]

Jayne Manafield had no father to raise her & guide her in her young life. That in itself was a tragedy. She became promiscuous in wanting attention as their was no father - figure to give her attention. She, unfortunately, used -- misused - her looks to draw attention & ended up pregnant outside of marriage,Statistics prove most of those involved in sexual immorality before marriage end up in divorce. Her second tragedy in life was getting involved with involved w/,Anton Lavay -- a Sartanist of the highest degree. The third tragedy, the vehicle crash ,was a result of the second tragedy -- Satanism. When you play with fire -- you're going to get burned. Beware of the wiles of the devil....

[@LindaDavis-kz2in]

The mistake came about her decapitation was because her wig had come off in the accident & first people on the scene thought it was her head.

​@@StephenGaristo-ir3ff🤣🤣🤣 😈 As if he could be bothered to influence that, especially to a follower, but she was promiscuous because she had no father to pay her attention??? What a load of rubbish. How typical of one of the god squad to immediately think of seedy inter familial relationships. Father's have nothing to do with cheating. Many children from single parent families work hard to provide the 2 parent family they missed out on and you know what? Single parents can also do a great job without damning their children to a life of sin. She was an adult allegedly very smart woman. Nothing but her own choice to cheat on every man she had.

RE: The Jungleland segment @ 15:02--The man working the lion act is Dick McGraw, one of my mentors there. I later took over this act for 3 years until the park closed. I was setting props for this act when Mansfield arrived w/Brody, Mariska, her sister, and Zoltan, the day after Thanksgiving, 1966. They were there for a photo shoot. I saw them enter at the front gate, but was not assigned to the event, and remained working onstage. Then, our manager, Roy Kabat, came running toward the gate with a bloodied child in his arms, followed by Mansfield and her companions. Zoltan was taken to Community Memorial Hospital, in Thousand Oaks, and the news media went wild. The lion first named for the attack was Sammy, formerly featured in the Ron Ely TARZAN series, but the true attacking lion was another movie animal, Brutus. We knew lawsuits would likely shut us down, but she died in that wreck before court filings were realized. We learned Mickey Hargitay had given up all parental rights in their divorce, so there was no one to file claims. Jungleland continued in operation until a foreclosure auction over October 8 & 9, 1969.

[@Mike--WA7QZR]

The only trucks and/or trailers that are exempt from the rule have rear axles at or below 3-feet (modern trucks & trailers often have axles quite far forward the actual rear of the vehicle) from the rear of the trailer, as the axle would prevent a vehicle from sliding under past the axle. It was this accident that prompted the rule. They were originally called Jane Mansfield bars, before the ICC created the regulation when they became ICC bumpers, later adopted by the DOT, hence the current designation of DOT bumper.

My friend Butsy was driving back from Biloxi, rolled up on the sceen, it was a foggy night, a large car was imbedded under a mosquito spraying truck with no operating caution lights in the rear of truck. People in front seat were sheared off at the chest, Ms. Mansfield's wig was pasted against the rear tires of the truck, there were no 'decapitations' of the people in the front seats although the upper portiions of their bodies were in the rear seat area where the children did survive the impact. (Facts coming from a real person that arrived on sceen before police arrived, no cell phone cameras then, so I go with my friends discription of what he saw, had no need to make up or change what anyone saw at that moment)

[@Kaboomboo]

Numerous reports state that the night was clear. There was a pesticide fog nearby but it was far away from the road.

[@kimtillman5683]

The reflective striped steel bar on the bottom back of a semi tractor trailer is called the’Mansfield bar’. It is a mandatory reflective bar on all semi trailers to help prevent such tragic accidents from happening as the young driver of Jane Mansfields car could not see the semi tractor trailer and was traveling at a high rate of speed.There were no brake tire marks on the road in efforts made to try stopping the car.

Nov 1965, friends and I rode our bicycles 10mi from San Mateo, CA to South San Francisco to see Jane at the White Front Store Grand Opening. We were 16 at the time and in awe. Unfortunately, I remember saying in the way home "she looked like our Moms". Pretty rough, guess the bottle had gotten the best of her. Surprised to see how young she died.

[@davidhenschel1990]

@eddiea1213 What did you mean when you told your friend, “She looked like our Moms”? You say you saw her in November 1965. She had given birth to all the children who survived her. Did this happen during a weekend or on a weekday? I ask because Jayne was a friend of Dorothy Kilgallen. On a Monday afternoon in November 1965, Dorothy’s sudden death was announced on network TV and radio. Did you mention Dorothy to Jayne? Did Jayne mention Dorothy to you or to others at the event while you were in earshot? I suspect the answers are all “No,” but I hope to be thorough before too many decades have passed. Thank you for reading my long message.

Wow! That's kind of a stretch. They were both loose leg women with daddy issues trying to sleep their way to the top. They both banged the Kennedy's. Neither were actually blonde. Neither came from wealth and neither lived a long life. One was satanic and the other a drug addict. They had no way up unless they used what they were sitting on. Acting skills were not the highlight of how they became famous. Both were attractive in their own way.

[@BunnieBaumayr-zl3wm]

Jayne Mansfield had not died as reported. She was not decapitated at all. Her wig was knocked off. And since a reporter was notified before the police. So he rushed down to the accident and took pictures. He got the story out before the body was examined. So the false story went public. As now people went around telling false stories about her death for ever .

[@derekroberts6654]

Sometimes i wonder if that was partly how the “Paul is dead” rumor got started. They heard about how Jayne was supposedly decapitated and someone took that idea and said that’s exactly how the real Paul Mccartney died in 1966 and was replaced by a doppelgänger.

[@ppena4128]

Jayne's association with Anton LaVey and her being named as "High Priestess of the Church of Satan" (@ 14:24) was seriously downplayed... there's so much more to that, and I'm sure the video's "click bait" title had reference to that. Anton's background prior to his establishment of the church of Satan included many interesting occupations including lion tamer, silent movie organist and crime scene photographer. Their relationship went deeper than most realize. Being named "high priestess" is not insignificant... as are photos, easily found, I'm sure, showing Jayne as a nude altar and drinking from a chalice offered by Anton. Publicity photos? Perhaps. Perhaps not. Look into that angle yourself if interested. Very telling. The book "Hollywood Babylon" by Kenneth Anger (a fellow Satanist and associate of Jack Parsons as well as Mr. LaVey) tells a little more of this deep, deep dive into what Jayne got mixed up in.

The first time I ever heard about Jayne Mansfield was over 40 years ago in the early 1980s when I saw a made for TV movie starring Loni Anderson and a then pretty much unknown Arnold Schwarzenegger. While we were watching the movie, my mother told me Jayne Mansfield had been decapitated in a car accident. It wasn’t until much later I learned the truth that she suffered a fatal head injury and that her wig came off in the car crash she was in.

[@duchessdiz]

You forgot to mention trucks in the U.S. have a bar on the back of their truck's called the "Mansfield bar" to prevent vehicles from going underneath larger trucks in front of them.... similar to the crash that Jane Mansfield was in.
