I need to check that out. Isn't she Mariska Hargitay's mother?

Which probably makes this more compelling... found on line a good vanity Fair article about production

No,Mariska is Jayne Mansfield's daughter! lol

Seriously Jayne Mansfield was almost "Marilyn Monroe famous" in her day.

This is a great Documentary that will expose the iconic and very tragic life of one of Hollywood's biggest names to many new people unfamiliar with her.

it was. I thought nothing would come close to 'pee wee as himself' for my top documentary pick for this year but this was on par.

This was so heartbreaking. I loved it.

Both were very moving and compelling in their own ways.

Beyond the name and understanding she was a blonde sex symbol who died young in a car crash I didn't know anything about her before watching. Seems like she was rather ahead of her time on several fronts and it would have been interesting to see what she may have been able to achieve had she time to assert her abilities more on her own terms in later years.
