A sex symbol of the 1950s and early 1960s, Mansfield was known for her numerous publicity stunts and open personal life. Although her film career was short-lived, she had several box-office successes, and won a Theatre World Award and Golden Globe Award, and soon gained the nickname of Hollywood’s “smartest dumb blonde.”
Mansfield married three times, each marriage ending in divorce, and had five children. She was allegedly intimately involved with numerous men, including Robert and John F. Kennedy, her attorney Samuel S. Brody, and Las Vegas entertainer Nelson Sardelli.
On June 29, 1967, Mansfield died in a traffic collision while traveling to New Orleans at the age of 34. These glamorous photos were taken by American photographer Lou Jacobs Jr. that show portraits of Jayne Mansfield at home in 1956.
