Jayne Mansfield Trivia
|
- Contrary to popular belief, Jayne Mansfield was not exactly decapitated in the car crash which killed her. Her New Orleans, Louisiana Certificate of Death lists "crushed skull with avulsion of cranium and brain" as the immediate cause of death; her other injuries included "closed fracture of right humerus" and "multiple lacerations of hands and lower extremities".
- Released a live album called Jayne Mansfield Busts Up Las Vegas.
- Had five children: Jayne Marie Mansfield (b. 8 November 1950), Miklos Hargitay, Jr. (b. 21 December 1958), Zoltan Hargitay (b. 1 August 1960), Mariska Hargitay (b. 24 January 1964), & Antonio Raphael Ottaviano Cimber (b. 18 October 1965).
- Her death is the subject of the Siouxsie and Banshees song "Kiss Them for Me", the title of which is taken from her 1957 film.
- During the late 1950s, the front bumpers of some American cars came with extensions that resembled a pair of large breasts as they would be shaped by the conical brassieres of the period. Soon after their introduction, these extensions were nicknamed "Jayne Mansfields."
