Jayne Mansfield on Silk
By Bert Six
Located in Austin, TX
Jayne Mansfield was an American actress, nightclub entertainer, singer, and one of the early Playboy Playmates. She was a major Hollywood sex symbol of the 1950s and early 1960s and 20th Century Fox's alternative to Marilyn Monroe, who came to be known as the "Working Man's Monroe". She was also known for her well-publicized personal life and publicity stunts, such as wardrobe malfunctions. In 1963 she became the first major American actress to have a nude starring role in a Hollywood motion picture, and, although many people have never seen her movies, Mansfield remains one of the most recognizable icons of 1950s celebrity...
