#jayne mansfield and the american fifties
Jayne Mansfield in California. 1959.
“By 1959 Jayne probably meant it when she said there was an overemphasis on sex. This overemphasis, which she had made a bargain with, had left her surrounded by people who didn’t know her, people who wanted her without knowing who she was. Jayne was sitting by the pool one day with her mother. She was hugging and kissing a Chihuahua with great ardour. “I just love him, Mama,” she said. “He’s the only one who doesn’t want anything from me.”
