Jayne Mansfield was one of the most prominent sex symbols of the 1950s and early 1960s. She was a member of a very exclusive club of blonde bombshells that the press often dubbed The Three M's - the other two members of this outfit being Marilyn Monroe and Mamie Van Doren.
While Mansfield is best remembered for her film work, appearing in movies like The Girl Can't Help It, The Wayward Bus, and Too Hot To Handle, she also performed on Broadway, most notably in 1955s Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? That production would later be adapted into a feature film of the same name.
She got her start modeling for Playboy magazine, although prior to that she won several beauty contests while attending the University of Texas At Austin including Miss Photoflash, Miss Fire Prevention Week, and Miss Magnesium Lamp.
As her film career began to wane, Mansfield transitioned over to television for a while before taking some time away from the spotlight to focus on her family. Eventually, however, her love for entertainment led her to make a second career out of performing at nightclubs and burlesque shows.
