    Tony Randall told the story about Jayne and her fans. When the tourist bus would pull up to her house in Hollywood, instead of hiding she would run down the driveway to the street and shout, "Hey! It's me! It's Jayne!". Then she would sign autographs for the tourists. She loved her fans.

      Jayne Mansfield was well-known for being one of Hollywood's nicest celebrities. She'd leave her Pink Palace, run down to the gate, and greet the tourists with a cherry, "Hi! Here I am! Yes, I am Jayne Mansfield!"

      I remember those tour buses. Once one stopped to look at a star's house and Doris Day was riding by on her bicycle. She stopped and pointed out several houses up and down the streets to the fans looking out the bus window. I was there, saw her do this. She was so nice.

      More than a year at each, given her peripatetic life as an aspiring actor.

      Jayne Mansfield was a cartoon act from what I’ve seen and didn’t know how to change with the time. In fact these sex kittens from the 50s found it hard to change when this is all they were remembered for. Out of all of them Marilyn was the profitable one but she too had to live off of that sexy act till her death. All of them were plagued with issues and leeches in the business and personal life. Mix that with drugs and alcohol they were left floundering trying to find some sanity in their life.

    I was 11 when Jayne Mansfield died in that car wreck in Louisiana. I remember it clearly. My family was on vacation and it was front page news in the newspapers in Colorado and at home when we returned later that week. A more morbid piece of news you never saw. The reports were full of details about either scalping or decapitation, though, as it turns out, neither quite happened.

The documentary also stated that Jayne sat in the back seat for the first part of the Louisiana trip, but had stopped and exchanged seats along the way, putting the children in the back seat and Jayne taking the front middle seat. This action probably saved the children's lives.

      He was running for the seat held by US Senator Claire Engel, who had become partially paralyzed from a brain tumor, and lost his capacity for speech. Engel tried to run for re-election but his health was deteriorating so rapidly that he withdrew in April. Salinger won the Democratic primary against State Controller Alan Cranston, but then Engel died and in August Governor Pat Brown appointed Salinger to the seat. He lost the November general election to Republican George Murphy (a former actor and dancer), and was the only Democratic seat to go Republican in LBJ's Democratic landslide of 1964.

At the end of the movie, Jayne and Dan Duryea are watching an acrobatic show at the Steel Pier.

      A few B&W cameras lived on for 10-15 years, donated to school or college training studios, or became museum pieces. Some of the lenses could be transferred to color cameras, but I'm sure the rest of the B&W stuff went to metal/electronic recyclers. It all had to go to make room for the even-bulkier color stuff. News film cameras could shoot color film, so they lived on into the '70s until practical electronic videotape editing arrived. I went to work for a TV station in '79, just as they finally ripped out their film lab.

    Female drummers are rare and it seems to me that there's a simple reason for it. It isn't a matter of prejudice. Rather it's a matter of not wanting to hide the most attractive member of the band behind a drum kit. That's a major reason why Karen Carpenter eventually stopped drumming and concentrated on singing.

      SaveThe TPC So far, I have to say, highly enjoyable as these episodes are, I've only confirmed my prior memory that I stopped actively watching the reruns when they got to the shows after Dorothy's passing. It's just not the same for me. I keep trying to pretend she's just off covering a murder trial somewhere. :(
      I did finally get my hands on the one remaining missing episode that's available, 1/6/63 with Bert Lahr, so i will post that after the final episode. I didn't plan it this way, but it will be nice to have one more Dorothy episode to end the series with, and I think this is one a lot of folks never saw, since it appears to have aired on GSN only twice, and one of those times was all the way back in the 1990s (which is why it was so hard to find a copy.)

      Congratulations on getting that previously missing, rare episode and thanks, as always, for your efforts in bringing all these classic WML episodes to all of us fans! It's nice to have something to look forward to after the last episode, but I have to say I'm getting a little sad at the prospect of coming to the end of the series at all. All good things must come to an end, as they say, but I'm glad you've found a way to stretch this one out a little further.
      Are you still planning to post the "WML at 25" special too -- and if so, would that be after the Bert Lahr episode? Also, I know you've been thinking about posting some other shows after you've added all the WML episodes. Have you made any definite decisions about that yet?

      From what I could discover online, it appears that sometimes Jayne told people her IQ was in the 160’s, while on other occasions she said it was in the high 140’s. From watching her converse on this show, neither seems likely. But online sources and my own superficial impressions can be faulty. And does IQ really matter? Clearly she was a charming person, hard working, motivated to improve and succeed, all of which are signs of intelligence.

    One of Jayne Mansfield's last television appearances.
    Tragically, in just 347 days, her life was all over at only 34 years of age. After performing at a nightclub in Biloxi, Mississippi, she rode in a car to New Orleans, Louisiana.
    The car she was riding in slammed into the back of a semi-tractor trailer truck that had stopped due to a truck in front of the tractor trailer that was spraying for bugs, and the car in which she was riding went under the truck at nearly 80 miles per hour along with boyfriend Samuel Brody and their driver Ronnie Harrison. They died instantly.
    Contrary to popular belief, Jayne was NOT decapitated.

He was scheduled for reelection in 1964, but died in summer 1964 of a brain tumor. California Governor Edmund Brown [who appeared on WML in 1958 as a Mr. X contestant] appointed Salinger senator. The idea was to get him on the campaign trail to be elected senator for his own term. In Johnson's huge 1964 Democratic landslide, California elected a Republican senator by the name of George Murphy. Murphy had been an actor.

    I admit that I'm not the world's best person on facial recognition, but it seems to me she looks a lot like the Lynne Jordan who appeared on the first round of this episode. Since the 1966 Lynne Jordan would be in her early-mid 70's or older, I doubt it could be the same person. But perhaps a daughter or niece?

    I'm all for good fun and horse sports (racing) but this seems like just torture for the poor dumb animal.

    Two interesting facts about Mr John Charles Patrick Croghan Daly: he was born in South Africa and he died in Chevy Chase. The place in Maryland, not the star of Fletch.

      It would be even more interesting if he'd actually died inside of the star of Fletch.

      +ToddSF 94109 Groan. That pun was almost so bad you should be banished to Bennett Cerfdom.
      And my admonishment (itself a pun) of your pun was about equally bad.
