That’s been the norm for hundreds of years. It’s only the past couple of decades that there’s been a tendency for people to have an extended adolescence well into their twenties.
She is so beautiful and her voice is so soothing in this interview. There will never be another Jayne Mansfield. It's a shame more people don't know what a trail blazer she was for actresses that came afterwards.
There will never be another Jayne Mansfield ??!! Wow !!?? Really ??!! I thought there'd be 5 more, exact replica's ?? Why do ppl say this fkn OBVIOUS statement ? We are all unique...
Well do you see similar thing about Marilyn Monroe People say that Jayne and Marilyn was smarter then people thinks ,and both dies young and married,divorced,and has many lovers,of course Jayne had 5 children ,Marilyn was pregnant but lost the baby ,not sure 1 or more Both had dark hair but changed for blond 👱♀️ I think Her daughter looks so much like Her especially when She is smiling ,Mariska Is strange that Jayne father dies in car accident when Jayne was 3 years and was with him in the car,and the same happened to Jayne ,car,crash and Mariska was in the back seat 💺 when She was only 3 years old ,so sad that She lost her Mum so young ,all children were young ,only the oldest was 16 years ,first born Jayne Maria Mansfield the same name as her Mum
@@edinburgh1578 Jayne apparently took an IQ test in high school, but there's no record of what sort. The subject of her intelligence has been bandied about for decades; her biographer Eve Gordon wrote that the quotient figure wasn't important, it was how Jayne used her intellect. And for the most part this was exceedingly well, with those who dismissed her as just a dumb sex symbol often highly impressed with how savvy she could be.
She was highly intelligent, did speak many languages and was a much better at playing both the piano and violin than 99% of the population. And a natural beauty you played several roles without heavy makeup.
Great to watch. I am from the Netherlands, so I understand both the English and Dutch words in this superb video of Jayne Mansfield. Wim Sonneveld was also famous in the Netherlands.
Aw she's so lovely and right on the ball with her responses. I also love the way she looks at the camera often to include the audience. It does look a bit out of the norm but she did that a lot in her interviews. I think that was a nice touch.
Jayne Mansfield was clearly more intelligent and articulate than she was given credit for... But notice how she slipped into the "Rita Marlowe" persona in the final seconds of this interview ;) She was typecast and though it probably frustrated her, she encouraged it herself a lot :)
I wouldn't say that. She was marveled for being a well spoken lady. Unfortunately being well spoken doesn't save you from a reputation of being trashy. And she definitely became trashy towards the end.
Yes I,know what you mean. I don't like her doing that silly Rita Marlow character. However there ARE some interviews on You Tube where she is herself, her normal speaking voice and she's lovely. Also there's an Alfred Hitchcock Hour she is in called 'Hangover' she is GREAT in it and looks really modern day.
Amazing how her career just exploded in 1957 with 3 movies in one year alone. Shame she was taken from us so fast. She would've made so many more good movies.
She was so beautiful and sweetly spoken and very balanced with her answers. Why oh why Hollywood portrays such lovely women blond and dumb. She was intelligent and well spoken.
Because she kept going out and "accidentally" flashing people to get her pictures in the paper. It was her doing for publicity. Hollywood has nothing to do with that. It's kind of hard to see her acting so poised and sophisticated in this interview while seeing her get drunk and act cheaply in public.
@@lancedukel3436 She was A list for like 2 weeks. She had two moderately successful pictures in which she starred. Then she kept getting pregnant and had to turn down movie roles. In Kiss Them for Me with Cary Grant she was just the comic relief, not the co-star, that was Susie Parker. This interview was in 1957 and Jayne was already acting trashy. This was the same year she crashed Sophia Loren's press party and kept bending over in front of her every time they took a picture of Sophia. It was trashy and it was obvious what she was trying to do. Her drinking wasn't so bad yet, but her publicity and willingness to do anything to have her picture taken quickly cheapened her image. She should've stopped trying to copy Marilyn Monroe after her first two movies and turned herself into something else.
Her voice is so soft and sweet. No wonder Mickey Hargitay fell for her. A soft voice is priceless. You can tell that she was a Daddy's girl. She is so cute.
An underappreciated gem. Jayne Mansfield was a genius. Watch the clips her playing the piano and violin. She used her physical beauty to her advantage without being vulgar. Gone way too soon. R.I.P. Jayne.
I'm very impressed by how beautiful, articulated, and smart she was. It's very sad that Hollywood labeled her as "dumb sexy blond". Obviously, the production companies are the dumb ones.
Her maiden name was Palmer. The surname Palmer refers to the palm fronds that a mediaeval English Catholic man would bring back from the holy land, where he had gone to on pilgrimage, to prove that he'd been to the holy land, and so he and any other mediaeval English Catholic man who'd done the same thing, would henceforth be called Palmer.
I love that guy who interviewed Her ,saying Miss ,and He is so polite with Her I think Her european hungarian husband Hartigay was the best husband i think and best man for Her
I hate it when they compare her and Diana Dors to Marilyn Monroe, because they are nothing alike. All three great actresses though. Jayne is stunning in this video
You can tell that actually, she was a fairly Intelligent woman and that the dumb blonde act was just that, an act. That's the great mystery about Jayne, one isn't always sure where the act ends and the real woman begins. I do think that she made some poor career choices, she acted in some pretty poor films.
One watches her movies, which are generally quite bad, and there are moments where you feel you are seeing the real Jayne, and then the director hits the Marilyn-pastiche button and one's interest wanes.
I agree about the poor films she was given. She was good in the early films before that awful Rita Marlow persona. "Illegal" (1955) and "The Wayward Bus" (1957) also she was brilliant in an Alfred Hitchock Presents "Hangover" in the arly 60s.
Jayne Mansfield's IQ varied from 160 - 167. She was an actual genius although she never was in the Genus Society as is several famous people. At age 5 she taught herself the first of 7 instrument's. Later on in high school, she learned French and Spanish. At Texas University @ El Paso, she learned German, Hungarian and one other language. The Hungarian worked out for her when she married Mickey Spillane. He migrated from Hungary and as husband and wife, they could argue in Hungarian and the children would be so confused.Sadly, in 1967, Jayne Mansfield was killed when her car crashed into the back of flatbed truck outside of New Orleans. She was not decapitated, despite the rumors. Jayne Mansfield was wearing hr blond wig and probably had the hair covered. The force of the accident sent the wig and cover over th back seat.Nobody in the front seat survived. Mariska Hargitay, Jayne Mansfield's youngest, and the 2 other children were rushed to the hospital for check-ups. Each of those in the front seat, after the New Orleans Fire Department pried them out, were also rushed to the hospital. Jayne Mansfield's second and third husband's were notified. Jayne Mansfield is buried at home in Pennsylvania.
Het is ook een personage van haar als actrice zodra ze in beeld kwam uiteraard wel behoorlijk getalenteerd , maar thuis in haar privacy, zal ze wel meer gewoon zichzelf zijn, met goede en slechte momenten, ze had een lieve man hongaar Body Builder, maar hij had het niet atijd makkelijk met haar, maar ook niks mis mee, net als andere geliefden😊
He is not trying to make fun of her. On the contrary to have such a major star stop by in Nederland in those days was an extremely rare occasion and he would be most honoured.
@@lancedukel3436 So? Jayne did have happiness for awhile but she likely was not very happy in her last years, struggling to still be seen as relevant in a changing time. Marilyn had a terrible childhood with neglect and sexual abuse. You likely wouldn't have been the happiest most well adjusted person having dealt with that either. Marilyn was quite articulate and intelligent in her own right. Saying that Jayne was more talented than Marilyn is also simply not true. The reality is that they both were typecast into "dumb blonde," roles yet neither of them was remotely dumb.
@@ccgrey8731 I never said Monroe wasn't intelligent. I said she was miserable. I personally adore Monroe. I love Mamie Van Doren too who is still alive and an iconic blonde bombshell . Jayne however, was a phenom, a living piece of pop art. Next to Elvis no one encapsulated what the 1950's were more than Jayne.
Marilyn was a Genius as a brilliant actress but Jayne was more believable in dramatic roles like The wayward bus or The loves of Hercules , for example i Always found Marilyn too much unexpressive in Niagara , she was not believable in a dark lady role
I am of mixed race and I dont see Color. I give credit where do. My opinion is that Jayne was better looking than Marilyn Monroe....The women back in this era of time where so feminine and much more classier than women of the 20th century👍👜👗📿
Not wrong. She was an exhibitionist. I wouldn't say a void or fake but she definitely put on airs to be noticed. The real jayne was kind and witty. But she was also short sighted in her antics, not realizing it was cheapening herself.
And what else could I ask? Beautiful face, big pair, exquisite scream, delicious moan, she'd only tell the lines I asked her to learn. Did I say "null brain"? Not exactly, maybe I should say interestingly "bypassed".
