Sophia Loren and the Original Side-Eye

Sophia Loren is VERY classy. Whenever she is asked to autograph that famous photo, she refuses out of respect for Jayne and her passing. Now THAT is class!

Sophia actually has bigger bust so wasn't jealous

[@marciamatteini7604]

I have always loved Sophia. Even as a child, I thought she was so beautiful. And because she’s Italian as I am made me proud. Back in the 1980’s she was in Michigan where I live, for a book signing and when it was my turn to meet her I spoke to her in Italian. My Dad coached me to say Hello your so beautiful and a few more words. Her eyes lit up and started to talk to me in Italian so I had to confess to her I only knew how to say a few words in her honor. She laughed and put me right at ease. I left her and walked back to my friends and was mesmerized and even cried a few tears of happiness. And she was just as beautiful as you see her on the screen. I will never forget that day. One of the highlights of my life ✝️

I just studied Hayne Mansfield a bit .. what a Tragic ending to such an interesting life.. She never made it big in the Movies , but she was smart and good at Promoting herself..

[@lancedukel3436]

Jayne was a huge star back in the day.

[@Kaboomboo]

She had three pretty well performing movies and lots of other roles here and there. But she wasn't good at promoting herself. If you're trying to sell expensive, classy perfume, you don't go selling it at Walmart. You'd sell it at a higher end store. That's what Jayne did. Wanted to be seen as classy and as a star, but kept cheapening herself with silly stunts that are akin to TikTok videos today.

I'm British. America should be proud of Jayne Mansfield. This woman was gorgeous, glamorous and sexy. Yes, Jayne was a showoff. That's the nature of the profession she was in. People who are showoffs are entertaining, that's true of women and men. Muhammed Ali and Jayne Mansfield are superb examples. When Jayne competed with Sophia it resembled Ali vs Liston. Jayne won this confrontation hands down, or perhaps it should be "Breasts Down!" This was a wonderful moment for the photographers and for all red-blooded males. Come on Americans, support your gal.

And from Merriam Webster dictionary, which also doesn't mention it being a "black girl thing": "Newly ubiquitous though the word may be, it's not a new term at all. James Joyce used it in Ulysses, published in 1922: 'A side eye at my Hamlet hat. If I were suddenly naked here as I sit? I am not. Across the sands of all the world, followed by the sun's flaming sword, to the west, trekking to evening lands.' But he was by no means the first. Our earliest evidence of side-eye in use is from 1797: 'Here we come to what calls for the strongest eye-sight, the most steadfast gazing. Our being in Adam has been looked on with a side eye. The subject has provoked dislike; I may almost say, contempt. It is now painful to speak of it.' - Remembrancer For Lord's Day Evenings, 19 Mar. 1797" www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/words-were-watching-side-eye

[@ccgrey8731]

Juan Mendez, It just wasn't a great thing to do to Sophia since it was a party welcoming Sophia to Hollywood. Jayne always felt that she had to do those kind of things to steal the attention but she should have been more respectful to Sophia. Jayne actually hurt her own credibility and likability with overdoing these sort of publicity stunts. She was kind of put in an impossible situation though, being hired by Fox to be a larger than life sexpot to threaten the studio's star Marilyn Monroe. So she did all these things that MM would never have done. It is sad because Jayne could have had a better career if she hadn't been trapped into the image.

No hypocrisy. It's one thing to play a character in a film and be topless as that character, and quite another to be an exhibitionist and allow your boobs and nipples to hang out as yourself at a party.

In this interview Sophia Loren is neither classy or witty. Jayne Mansfield was no longer with us at the time of this interview and couldn't defend herself, tragically Jayne had died in a car accident. Sophia and Jayne met when 20th Century-Fox movie stars greeted Sophia at Romanoff's Restaurant in L. A. Gary Cooper, George Raft, Clifton Webb and Jayne were some of these movie celebrities who welcomed Sophia for her first Hollywood film, 'Boy On A Dolphin.' Jayne wore a low cut dress. As we all know, Jayne was beautifully proportioned, particularly with regard to her magnificent bust. This was the first time where Sophia found herself "Out Busted." Those were the words used by the press when describing this USA vs Italy confrontation. Sophia was heard to mutter: "I would never wear a dress like that!" Jayne heard the crack and gave a potent reply: "You couldn't wear my dress because you don't have the breasts to hold it up. If you wore this dress it would fall down around your ankles." The truth is, Sophia did wear low cut dresses, as did Jayne. It was necessary in the profession they were in. I'm not American, I'm British. But, in my opinion, America should be proud that this nation produced Jayne Mansfield. She was gorgeous, glamorous and sexy. Jayne was also a wonderful mother to five children. Many children of Movie Stars frequently embarrassed their parents when they became adults. That isn't the case with Jayne's children. Jayne, despite her busy workload, loved being a mother and always had time for her kids.
