  • 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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

      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....

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.

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.

Pictures are still out there of Jayne lying off the passenger side on the ground with a covering over her. I clearly could brains on the ground right beside the front of the car door which had blood streaked downward There was also a dead dog, some liquor bottles and her blonde wig was on the dash. Some of these pictures as far as I know are no longer out there.

      The first car made it to the crash in less than 2-3 minutes, the next two within 5-6 minutes. The state police etc are much later. No cell phones, one has to call from a phone, and it takes time to get there. Just in the wrong place at the right time.

    Sidenote (What is a Mansfield bar on a tractor trailer?
    Mansfield bars, also known as underride guards, are metal bars affixed to the back of semi trucks and trailers. They're meant to supplement a bumper and prevent passenger cars from sliding underneath semi trucks in the event of a collision.) I have welded and fabricated and installed tons of them and every once in a while while you welding this up, do you remember where it came from?

His job was to patrol the parking lots where there were trailers for the actors and movie personnel. While making his rounds, he heard quite a bit of noise coming from one of the trailers. Suspecting it was a burglar, he walked in to investigate. When he opened the door, it was none other than John Wayne, Victor Mature and Jayne Mansfield. I'll leave it at that.

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.

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.

    Interesting fact, the young man that was driving the car was a couple of days from getting married to his pregnant girlfriend.
    Also Mickey absolutely ADORED Jayne. Heart shaped themes ran not only the house but the pool that said in tile at the bottom “I love you Jayne” Mr Humperdinck bought the home from Mickey and kept the heart theme (although he took the I love you Jayne out of the pool bottom)

    Rumor has it that Anton Lavey put a curse on her supposedly there is footage of him ripping a picture of her in half starting at the neck..

    Hence all trucks now have a Mansfield bar on the rear end.

    Oh my god. That's really shocking. She was really a brunette. She was not really blond. I'm shocked.

    Very good video, although a tad coy for my liking at times, as I am a grown up.
