Jayne Mansfield comes across as utterly adorable!
When I was a teen I spoke to her outside her pink mansion on the sunset strip. She was an absolute knock out and so friendly
What did u guys say to each other?
how convenient..
In my opinion, she was much more beautiful than Marilyn Monroe.
@@dhornjr1 Totally agree!
sHE has an adams apple!
She actually had beauty AND brains! She was no dumb blonde and spoke several languages!
So does Mariska.
Look up Hedy Lamar... Beautiful and she invented signal skipping which was used in guided missiles and such for the military and is used today in cell phone technology...she was an absolute genius.
CORRECTION .... GOOGLE IT. SHE SPOKE 5 LANGUAGES!!!
@@kenw.1112 and played classical piano & the violin very well.
Jayne Mansfield was so so beautiful!
She looks so much better with very little makeup here, beautiful!!!!
Mariska looks just like her mother. The eyes, her smile, her face. So sad how she died. She left behind three children including Mariska. RIP Jane
She left behind five children!
I agree about mariska. A lot in her eyes.
@@SR-iy4gg Yes, I met Mariska her sister, their father and Mr. Universe at an intimate meeting where Jane Mansfields dad used to live. I was very young at the time.
Yes she does look like her
5 children
Poor Jayne. Poor Dorothy, Both died way too young.
It's odd some of the more notable celebs died young. Not sure how old JM was...but there was Bruce Lee (32), his son Brandon (28)....James Dean....
Anderson C I see your point....all pale in significance compared to people like Kirk Douglas, Hepburn, Davis, Tracy, Cagney, Astaire, Brando who lived a long time though. And that's just the US. We have a fair share of aged legends in the UK too!
😔😔
@@AGC828 Jayne was 34.
both lived well
chose well
I love Dorothy’s soft speech & her and Arlene’s elegant dresses.
Mazot Hortlak: you are the stupid one, and you are anti-social.
I really admire how intelligent they both were (and I hate thinking of this in the past tense...); and I especially loved Arlene Francis' wonderful sense of humor, her amazing quick wit. In that area of her life she was really gifted. But do you know what is sad, however, is knowing how wonderful and loving and appreciated these two women were, but that they each died in very lonely circumstances, out of the public eye, especially Ms. Francis, in San Francisco. It's just another example how fame is such a fleeting thing, isn't it?
Jayne Mansfield was very beautiful and it's such a shame she had a tragic death.RIP Jayne
Yes, and because of her death, all trucks have that square bar at the back of their trucks to prevent a car from sliding under. It's called a Mansfield bar
Jayne Mansfield showed her more intelligent side in the early part of her career, when not performing. Much better to see/hear her speak as who she really was.
She is ABSOLUTELY DROP DEAD GORGEOUS!!!!!
Now, now........don't lose your head.
I'm absolutely unable to comprehend how anyone could be as cute as Jayne Mansfield is in this one.
pretty- beautiful. gorgeous. Jayne M.
@@lancedukel3436 but right. 😂
@@lancedukel3436 I beg to differ. Inhalants are the cats meow.
Jayne Mansfield was the most marvelous and astonishing comedy actresses in the history. Beautiful, voluptuous, witty- IQ162, five foreign languages, loving gentlemen, and having five gorgeous kids, playing violin and the piano, burlesque creature well ahead of Ms. Ditta von Tise. Sadly enough she got a bad luck to have an inexpierienced driver at one foggy night while travelling in the front seat of her Buick 1966 without seat belts fastened. The rest is history. Ain't she sweet ? Isn't she lovely, folks ?! Rest in Peace Jayne.
+Witold Banasik What a lovely tribute, and all true. Thanks much.
eoselan7
You' re welcome. Cheers !
she was all that & more 👏
+Rita Ann her daughter is her over the coals!
+Witold Banasik dita von tise dosnt copy jane mansfeild in any way....she is a sally bowles clone but looking like the real burlesqe of berlin in the 20's....and acting more like the blue angel marlena deitrich.
Jayne Mansfield was such a lovely woman, both physically and personality-wise.
But I heard she was big into the occult world.
@@waynejohanson1083 publicity stunt.
Her daughter Mariska Hargitay comes across as a warm person, too, and talented.
@@waynejohanson1083 anyone can take the wrong way, anyone. Even the righteous/religious
Miss Mansfield was so much better when being herself like here, there are only very few appearances and interviews of Miss Mansfield as the intelligent woman she was but I guess that's what she thought the public wanted at the time. Jayne Mansfield was the best.
Mike Hudson, well the problem was that 20th Century Fox hired her to be a sexpot threat to MM who had walked out on her contract. They never wanted to let her grow just like they didn't want MM to. Ultimately Jayne doomed her own career by playing along and hyping up the false image . Here she has a natural charm that would have been nice to see in her film roles instead of the over the top sexy persona.
@@ccgrey8731 …and the shame too, was that the Marilyn schtick was getting dated, even for Marilyn. By the late 50’s and early 60’s a whole batch of beautiful blonde starlets came along, but presenting more complexity and naturalism - Tuesday Weld, Eva Marie Saint, Lee Remick, Kim Novak, etc….
the "everybody knows that" conformity coaching in the '50s & early '60s was still
women shouldn't let too much intelligence becuz it would scare off male "prospects"
not only marriage prospects (the presumed desire of all sane females) but also
employment prospects. Which is why what Christopher just described was a topic
of the times -- all those examples he lists were collectively flooding that particular
"everybody knows" out of existence. Personally, I think Arlene + Dorothy performing,
on this very popular show.once a week thru all those years played a bigger part in
kicking that particular "everybody knows" out the window in most folks' minds. I'd
add Betty White's in her very wide range of TV roles, to the list.
What a gracious, amiable woman Jayne was.
If there is a heaven I want to live forever with my family, GOD and Jayne Mansfield! Jayne was born April 19th, which is my birthday! In my opinion the MOST BEAUTIFUL woman who ever lived!!!
I was thinking that I would go back to a more peaceful 50's. I know because I was 16 in 1957 so I know how it was back then. Sunday night I'd make sure to watch this pleasant show at 10:30 pm every week. I always looked forward to this quiz show. I have about 40 of these programs and watch them when I want to relive the past, which I find enjoyable. It's a great high for me.
Nope they switched genders in most of these actors - Jane was a male!
That’s so cool
Also back in the time when nuclear proliferation was getting ramped up and the cold war as well. I'm glad I didn't live then, it seems like a scary time in some ways.
...same comment, every single episode...once is enough...every episode is creepy stalker...
"My ant put me through college". Such a funny line. Arlene was SO witty!!
aunt!!!
@@terryniblett9329 Nope. Ant.
and yet she couldn't think of an animal with more than 4 feet :)
as soon as I heard Arlene say it I paused the show and looked for someone that commented on how awesome that line was :)
I have never really been a game show person (even when I only had 3 channels to "surf" through),
but I can't stop watching what has to be the BEST game show of all time!
Ant!!!
Jayne Mansfield whistled better than I do.
You know how to whistle don't you? Just put your lips together and blow.
@@superchitownhustler oh you are very good teacher
Because he is
She does many things better than you do.
I hadn't realised 'till now just how attractive Jayne Mansfield was...beautiful in fact.
Frank Burns Jayne is a goddess 💞👑💞
And we all love her talented and good-looking daughter Mariska Hargitay, who plays tough detective on I can’t believe I forgot the name, Something SVU!
@@gomphrena-beautifulflower-8043 Law and Order SVU.
Really? I always thought she was beautiful but now i think shes very plain looking.
It turns out that legendary beauty queens and sex symbols who are remembered half a century after their deaths for their appearance are quite striking.
She lived the blonde bombshell & loved every minute of it !!!
Jayne was at the height of her career here. Cute as button! RIP Jayne.
Lance Dukel “cute as a button”, nail on the head. slightly rounded face reminds me more of a cheerleader in H.S. than a bombshell.
"This animal has no legs...huh?"
Arlene made me laugh out loud on that one.
During this stage of her life, Dorothy was a fabulous looking lady.
Great to see Don Ameche here! One of my favorite actors. Cool to see Jayne too.
Yes mine too. I think he was very intelligent person apart from his Hollywood career. His character choices in films proves that.
@@lopa2828 Aw, definitely. He was one of a kind.
Seeing how incredibly beautiful Jayne was it makes it all the more dreadful to think of what happened to her.
A classy and intelligent program.
Arlene is on fire in this one! "My aunt put me through college" really cracked me up!
Jayne Mansfield was beautiful.
She died on my birthday although I wasn't alive yet on the actual day she passed. I've read about her, saw her in movies, watched her bio and they all say she loved having her children with her. She could've had a nanny. One of the things I love about her.
Jayne also loved animals and had many, many pets. 2 of her little dogs died with her in the crash.
She was a loving, devoted mother.
Dorothy Kilgallen was so smart.
Jayne Mansfield - Hubba hubba. I've always loved her. Sweet, classy and gorgeous. ...and Mariska Hargitay's momma. RIP Jayney.
Jayne has an Adam’s apple ? Wow
@@purrangels9585 you have a beard.
God bless her soul
Bless her beautiful soul, the Mansfield bar was named for her.
This show aired only hours before my first breath on Earth. Was neat to get to view it, like time travel. Lol
All the 'Goodnight's at the end reminds me of The Waltons TV show
i SO wish these had the original commercials...that would be so awesome
I do add back in the original commercials when I have a complete copy of a show to grab them from, but I don't usually have an unedited copy available. There are more than a couple of dozen episodes with original commercials in this playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLqsaqh5sqUxrRmk0siGIBwIcrTJQPnyqp.html
Holy Wow She was a knockout. Her facial expressions are just top level charming. I still feel She should have been far more popular than mosr others of Her time, seems to me Hollywood politics played a huge role in Her diminished fame compared to the far less talented that were flaunted around. She had the Looks and the Talent.
Surprising how little make-up Jayne Mansfield used in comparison to other stars of the period, ...she was beautiful of face, but the body got all the attention ... she was terrific in The Girl Can't Help It.
I love that movie. Iconic rock n roll . Jayne is fabulous in it.
Little did anyone know that Jayne had less than 10 years to live. Such a tragedy dying so young.
A great performance by Ms Mansfield. She kept her head through all the questioning.
did not know they had large women stores and models in the 50s... nice to know.
Jayne is such a natural beauty, what a pretty face and that Don Ameche, how suave is that dude? Stars just had a lot more glamour back then.
I swear Dorothy Kilgallen was psychic! So many times I watched her just pull the correct answer out of nowhere.
She was brilliant... amazing deductive ability... and it got her killed unfortunately.
My mom always claimed that Dorothy cheated.
I just think that Dorothy Kilgallen is just beautiful..AND adorable
After Marilyn, Jayne Mansfield was probably my favorite blonde bombshell of the '50s.
Elvis had an affair with Mamie Van Doren.
Marilyn Mans on field
Marilyn was the first blonde sex symbol(hate to use that term because she wouldn't have liked it). The rest were mostly copies. There was an aura around Marilyn. It's difficult to explain the overall attraction that she was.
@@jerrylee8261 hello Jean Harlow, Mae West? Marilyn wasn't. You're welcome 😊
If anyone needs to know what a "wolf whistle" actually sound like, on this episode, Jayne Mansfield used one to indicate "yes".
Strange to hear a woman whistle mmm
@@Scri58pt It is?
@@SR-iy4gg these drag dates wish Jayne was a man. She would have loved it 😀
Jane was just precious. She gets a bad rap as a sex symbol and dingbat, but she was a very intelligent and articulate lady and obviously actor.
I remember Jane Mansfield being on Jack Parr’s talk show. She was beautiful witty and smart very smart. Rest in paradise Jane. 😊❤
When I was a little kid the main thing I really knew about Jayne Mansfield was that my mom got mad every time my dad mentioned her name, Lol.
I’ve just discovered this series and I love it ❤️. I’m binge watching 😁
Batman, you're so lucky to have found "What's My Line?" And. As a boy and teen, I truly enjoyed it. I am glad that BATMAN has found this witty gift from History! Gregg Oreo long Beach Ca
Watch the 1969-75 version with Soupy Sales! Great!
Arlene is so pretty and funny and Dorothy is so smart and classy. I wish I could have been on the show with them.
Did you notice Bennett's misogynistic remark (25:15)?
@@Bestillivoze 🙄
@@Bestillivoze Wow, this just a joke
@@annkow9154 If is it a joke he should have told it louder so the audience may hear it and laugh.
@@Bestillivoze Yeah, he probably should screaming
The oddity is now, most people know Jayne Mansfield as the mother of Mariska Hargitay, whom since 1999 has played the much-beloved Det. Olivia Benson on "Special Victims Unit."
Who?
You mean to tell me you did not know that Mariska Hargity is the daughter of Jayne Mansfield? Mariska (her daughter) has only been on "SVU" for 15 years in what is now one of the longest-running series on television and could very well be challenging "Gunsmoke" and the original "Law & Order" (that "SVU" was a spinoff from) in a few years for longest running non-animated prime-time non-news show of all time?
Walt Gekko Not everybody watches SVU.
Doug Mangum i've watched suv's............
Back in 1986, the NCAA got tired of watching SMU football ...
"My Ant put me through college" Arlene is adorably hilarious.LOL
+Purple Capricorn yes...great response from Arlene. She seemed a genuinely lovely lady.
@@frankburns8946 Must have been some kind of smart ant then.
I wonder if that ant farm is still in business
@@Dan4CW I think I had one of those for a science project when I was a kid,,,jeez, I came home one day and discovered all the ants had escaped and were infesting the home,,,oh boy,,,was I in trouble...
@The Brave Introvert. Yeah, that was a good pun. She beat Bennett Cerf with that one.
Jayne Mansfield was beautiful and funny and it's just tragic how she died.RIP
All I can say is woweee, I'm gonna have to watch some Jayne Mansfield movies.
Smokin hot. Really.
She was very intelligent lady who unfortunately mostly played dumb blonde bombshell in distress roles. So most of her roles wouldn't do any justice to her high IQ level. So I think you will be disappointed with her movies.
I always loved Jayne. She not only had beauty, but a sweetness about her. She died on 6/29/67, after performing at Gus Steven's Supper Club in Biloxi, MS. They were on their way to New Orleans late that night on Hwy. 90.
My husband and I were returning from our honeymoon in Pensacola, FL. on 7/21/67, and stopped at the same restaurant/motel. That night at dinner, the waitress told us that Jayne had performed there about 3 weeks before and was killed. We were in total shock. If the dates had been a little different, we might have gotten to see her performance. It was a great shock.
Don Ameche: "I'm VERY big." (Raises his eyebrows and looks at Arlene...) lol
Actually, he said, "I'm not very big."
So cute I hope her children got to see this.
she was a nice lady and did what she could
Her daughter, Mariska Hargity is the star of Law and Order:SVU. She was in the car when Jayne died. Injured herself.
Jayne Mansfield was very intelligent spoke several languages and played the Violin
I agree she was very intelligent, look up Hedy Lamar... she was also beautiful and invented signal skipping, which was used by the military in things like guided missiles and such and today is used wifi. Our ability to use cell phones and wireless signals was invented by a woman who was labeled the most beautiful woman on the planet at one point... Talk about brains and looks combined !! And although Dorothy Kilgallen wasn't necessarily a beauty per se, she had one of the greatest deductive minds ever next to the fictional Sherlock Holmes... Too bad it got her killed.
Don Ameche -- 1:15 va va va voom
John Daly was the master of interpretive semantics. No one could touch him. Some of his observations about the first contestant are classics. I used to show this sequence in my college English classes to illustrate some points about language and word usage. And it was always a hit.
The One and ONLY - Jayne Mansfield!💕
Don ameche was a pretty big star in the 80s probably more so then he was in the 50s, cocoon, trading places, etc
Jayne Mansfield! *sighs* OMG! :)
And what a sad end she had. :(
That’s what you get when you join the Church of Satan and ask the founder to curse the very man end up dying with. Once she requested the curse on the man, LaVey warned her to stay far away from him, but she got in the car with him instead, and she got what she asked for. It’s only sad that she went with Satan’s offer of temporary material gains, and not God’s offer of a long-term relationship that starts the day you ask for it.
You can ignore broadcast waves, radiation, God and the angelic realm, and Satan and the entire demonic realm if you really insist on it, but it won’t make any of them go away or fail to impact you just because you can’t physcially see them and choose to ignore them. They’ll carry on doing their thing, whether you like it or not.
Satan, like a thief, won’t wait for an invitation. He will kick and trick and sometimes barge his way into your life (but he’d rather work quietly and be ignored, like all thieves and killers do).
God, to a degree, does hold back a measure of evil in general, or we’d all be dead, because that’s what Satan comes to do, kill, steal, and destroy.
But if you want Him in your life, complete with guidance, better protection, joy, and all the benefits he offers in a relationship with Him, you have to ask for it. He is a gentleman, honors your free will, and awaits for your response to His invitation. The very generous invite is open to everyone, but they do need to RSVP, He won’t force Himself on you.
The only thing you really give up is what doesn’t work for your own happiness, including any grudges against anyone, because they’re too heavy to take where you’ll be going, and it helps to give up thinking you’re the smartest thing that ever walked on land, and let Him steer your life instead, since what He wants for your life is one of health, prosperity, happiness, peace, comfort, and service to help others have the same. And He wants you back home when all is said and done. But He can’t force you to come home to Him when you’re time is done here. You have to decide to. Refusing to read the owner’s manual and guide won’t be an excuse for not finding your way home. The lost will stay lost to Him, and there aren’t a load of choices of where else to be, just one.
And He does want you to notice where it’s all coming from, and show some thanks and appreciation. He will steer you around what isn’t in your best interest, and towards what is. You just have to trust Him when the ride looks off the beaten path. Even when he takes you into unfamiliar territory, it’s because He knows a better destination, and sometimes it’s the only way to get there. And never worry when He slams a door shut. It’s just to help you dodge a bullet, and not waste your time.
LaVey and Crowley, both Satanists, both got to experience regret before they drew their last breath. You’re either working with God, or you’re not. There is no neutral ground. One or the other.
Jayne chose poorly.
@@misskim2058 please take your meds.
Dearest Lance...The phrases “”Conspiracy Theory!”, “Tin Foil Hat”, “Satanic Panic”, “False Memory Syndrome”, “You Must Live In Your Mother’s Basement”, “Don’t Breed”, “Seek Help”, “Take Your Meds”, “Put Down The Crack Pipe”, “Nutter”, blah, blah, blah are just very childish attempts at damage control by using tired, old, worn out Cointelpro and Tavistock phrases and tactics that are so last-century, (seriously, they’ve been around since Kennedy, and the tactics are as old as the hills), and no one is falling for it anymore. Anyone still using those phrases or childish mockery tactics either didn’t get the memo, or is one of them...same goes for all derogatory words. It shows either a lack of intellect, a lack of any real argument, or collusion and conspiracy with the perpetrators.
You’ll note that your pre-pubescent attempt is listed above…
@@misskim2058 no it isn't. I said "please." You're welcome. 😀
That happened when I was eleven years old. I always remembered to not drive in the fog at night. After the crash into the back of the semi trailer, they began to install the "Mansfield bar" across the back of the trailers to keep vehicles from sliding underneath on impact.
lol lol I always look forward to Dorothy giving the female contestants the once- over as they depart. priceless, lolol!!
One of my favorite episodes.
Oh my gosh how sweet was Jayne Mansfield ?! 💖🤍❤️
Lost
I guess I need to go try to find some Jayne Mansfield movies to watch. I knew of her and was well aware of Marilyn Monroe, but Raquel Welch was the rage when I was a kid. But after seeing Jayne here, even in old black & white TV, I concur that she was stunning. Wow! It's nice hear others commenting that she had a lot more going for her than just her good looks, but man did she have that going for her. Also, having binge watched a lot of these What's My Line episodes, I had never known who Bennet Cert was, but have now really grown to like him. The whole lot of them seemed like really good people.
utterly captivating.
That last contestant played drums all her life and you can see her as an old lady if you do a TH-cam search for
Old lady SLAYING ON DRUMS
cool
thank you
"My ant put me through college." Arlene Francis. That one was worthy of Bennett Cerf.
I used to see Don Ameche all the time on "To Tell the Truth" where he was a regular panelist. They frequently introduced him on TTTT as "The inventor of the telephone, Don Ameche". My mother had to explain that one to me and, eventually, I saw the biopic "Alexander Graham Bell" in which Don Ameche played the title role. It was his most famous movie role, hence the introduction. His last name, I note, was original "Amici" -- and "Ameche" was spelled as it was to help Americans pronounce it properly. ("Amici", fairly obviously, is an Italian surname -- and it's also the Italian plural of the singular noun "amico", which means "friend". A nice name to have, I think.)
Hi, I read somewhere that after he made the Alexander Graham Bell bio, they started calling the phone The Ameche because of him. Always enjoyed him.
Rachel Moore -- That's true -- there was a period where some people jokingly referred to the telephone as "the Ameche". It's one of those popular slang terms that faded over time.
One of his best films was "Heaven can Wait"- not to be confused with the later Warren Beatty film of the same name.
I loved him in Cocoon. A great movie!
Jane Mansfield was such a Beautiful Lady, her daughter plays the lead roll on the TV show Law and Order SVU.
Lovely..
The elegant fashion, these woman dress so beautiful, those were the days.
Hello Maria, How are you doing?
Women had class back then.
The ant house seller's card reads "ants included". But when Arlene asks "does it come with stuff already in it", John answers "No"... Why "no" if ants are included?
Jayne had such lovely eyes and was beautiful.Its a shame she died so tragically.
She did get precisely what she asked for. Bad idea to choose Satan, bad to curse anyone. Downright stupid to climb into a car with someone you’ve chosen to have cursed by your Satanic leader, especially when he warned you not to do that. Guess she erroneously figured Satan wouldn’t let her get hurt, too, but that’s not how he operates. He comes to steal, kill, and destroy. Don’t expect a different outcome when you dance with the devil. And if you aren’t dancing with God, you’re dancing with the devil, there are no other dance partners and there is no dancing alone. You’re in the presence and service of one or the other. Ignoring it won’t change that fact, anymore than ignoring radiation will make it cease to exist, or reduce its impact on you.
@@misskim2058 that is a load of hogwash. Nobody will come to Christ listening to you including you.
Lance, you’re only digging a bigger hole for yourself. It’s best that you don’t speak on topics when you are well out of your depth and you clearly have not done your homework. And now, I’m shaking that dust off my feet. No more troll food for you.
@@misskim2058 projecting much? Jayne was raised a Methodist and died a Roman Catholic. You are a lousy troll and very boring. Don't lose your day job. God bless you dear! 😀
@@misskim2058 There are gods & devils?! Really?
It's amazing to think.. that not one of the people on the panel could probably have conceived of us today.. in 2022.. sitting around, cheering them on while watching on our smart phones.
Drove across that bridge Jayne got beheaded on. This is so creepy now. What a tragic story. Such a beauty. So young
She wasn't beheaded, she was wearing a wig that flew up in the air when her car was hit by the truck.
They weren't on a bridge either - it was a straight, flat section of road.
Am I the only person who would love to see this in color?
Would LOVE to
Miss Mansfield...very cute and so beautiful
@@gailsirois7175 She sure was
To some of us in the UK, Jayne Mansfield was also memorable for having been the subject of an improvised Derek And Clive 'sketch' where she had a certain 50/50 arrangement with lobsters.
just like her beautiful daughter!
Love Jayne :)
Jayne Mansfield did a topnotch job of playing it dumb. I remember when she was a team captain (with two contestant teammates) on "The Match Game" (original version out of New York) with Gene Rayburn as host. The things to be matched with answers written on cards was "Name a famous Gene" which, since it was read allowed, could also have been "Name a famous Jean". On Jayne's team, the contestants came up with Gene Rayburn and Jean Harlow, and Jayne came up with "hygiene". It was hilarious, but didn't serve her teammates well since they won money if they matched each other. I have to say that coming up with "hygiene" as a humorous response wasn't the work of someone who was actually dumb.
Her iq was reportedly 149
ToddSF 94109:Jane Mansfield was member of Mensa!
♡ Dorothy
Mother of Mariska Hargitay in fact (and Mariska's father Mickey was apparently backstage during this broadcast).
Jayne was so stunningly gorgeous like her daughter Marishka!!
Oh my, I just read how Jayne Mansfield died. So young and tragic.
I always thought Jayne Mansfield was more beautiful than Marilyn Monroe. She was so sweet on this show
Hello Karen, How are you doing?
The women were so beautiful back then ❤ I love the dresses the ladies wore
Loved this, very entertaining
She's a natural beauty 💜
Thing I had never gotten around to looking up: Bennett mentions the Mexican Jumping Bean at around 9:43. It jumps when warmed, Wikipedia tells me, because it has been inhabited by the larva of a small moth, and the larva is attempting to avoid immolation and/or dehydration.
She was extremely intelligent and well read.
Don Ameche was born as Dominic Felix Amici on May 31, 1908, in Kenosha, Wisconsin. His father, Felice Amici, was a bartender from Montemonaco, Ascoli Piceno, Marche, Italy. His mother, Barbara Etta Hertel, was of Scottish, Irish, and German ancestry.[4][5][6] I always wondered about his ethnicity. He once played a Hungarian named Tibor in a movie with Claudette Colbert.
I think the picture was called, "Midnight," starring Claudette Colbert.
“I have no money to give you!”
Jayne Mansfield didn't live long, but she packed a lot of living into those years. That year she appeared in my favorite of her movies, "The Wayward Bus". I noticed how the first contestant forgot to complete the "t" in his surname. Professional clock watcher John Daly must have had clocks all over his house.
She was an absolute dream. Such a sweet lovely lady.
