Jayne Mansfield

During the 1960s, the world started to become a little more open to provocativeness and sensuality in the show business. As a result, women and men were called “sex symbols” because of their sexual appeal. One of them was Jayne Mansfield, a former nightclub entertainer turned singer, actress, and one of the first Playmates. She was made famous by her films such as The Wayward Bus, Too Hot to Handle and Promises! Promises! She was made even more popular because of her publicity stunts that often involved wardrobe malfunctions.

Because of her body, Jayne Mansfield has played a number of blonde roles and gained legions of fans. Jayne Mansfield does have a talent for acting, but film executives insist she will continue to play silly blonde stereotypes. She reportedly had an IQ of 163. Her numerous alleged affairs with her co-stars and even with her attorney headlined tabloids and newspapers. Sadly, she died in a car crash at age 34.
