Jayne Mansfield

Another iconic star from Hollywood is Jayne Mansfield. She became one of the biggest names in the ‘50s—because of her eccentric allure and her perfect physique. The actress was the ultimate femme fatale at the time. Despite the short-lived acting career, Mansfield left a legacy.

Although she was famously known for her publicity stunts, she had a number of box-office hit movies. She even won a Theater World and a Golden Globe Award, proving she’s not just a pretty face. Mansfield is best known for the Broadway and movie versions of Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? She was also seen in The Girl Can’t Help It, The Wayward Bus, and Too Hot to Handle. In addition, she left quite a lasting impression when she made the post-silent film Promises! Promises! She continues to receive credit for being one of the most precious talents Hollywood has had.
