Did you know that Mamie Van Doren was a close friend of Marilyn Monroe’s, or did you think that competing Old Hollywood sex symbols couldn’t get along? Mamie Van Doren considered Marilyn Monroe a close friend and a mentor before the latter’s tragic death in 1962. Several years prior, Mamie had broken out into the entertainment industry with her role in the 1957 film Untamed Youth, having worked in B pictures for several years before that. Mamie was poised to become the next big sex symbol, though she didn’t quite make good on her movie star potential the same way as contemporaries such as Marilyn Monroe did.

After Marilyn died in 1962, Mamie found more roles on the stage than she ever did on film. She acted in various stage productions, including performing Marilyn's role in a production of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. The most notable role that Mamie had in her career before essentially retiring before the end of the millennium was in the 1958 film Teacher’s Pet, in which she starred alongside Clark Gable.
Mamie Van Doren fell in love with Clark Gable on the set of Teacher’s Pet, though Clark was only one of many male celebrities that Mamie was romantically linked to during her prime. Other celebrities that the sexually adventurous Mamie apparently had casual encounters with include Frank Sinatra, Johnny Carson, and Elvis Presley. She had four short-lived marriages before trying the knot with her fifth husband in 1979, and the two are still living together in Newport Beach, California, today!
At the age of 90, Mamie still looks relatively incredible. However, nothing quite beats looking at pictures of the renowned Old Hollywood sex symbol in her prime! Join Facts Verse as vintage photos of Mamie Van Doren reveal more than we expected.
