Jayne Mansfield became one of Hollywood's biggest icons, but the woman behind the image is far different than most people remember. This is the true story of her life, her tragic death, the myths that followed, and the legacy that continues nearly 60 years later.
For decades, the world has remembered Jayne Mansfield for one tragic night. But behind the headlines was a woman far more complex than the "blonde bombshell" Hollywood created.
In this episode, we uncover the real story of Jayne Mansfield, from her rise to fame and carefully crafted public image to the relationships, career struggles, and heartbreaking events leading up to the 1967 crash that forever changed her family's life. We also separate fact from fiction surrounding her death, explore how her daughter Mariska Hargitay reclaimed her mother's legacy, and explain how one devastating tragedy became forever linked to highway safety.
