My understanding is that she is, or was, Jodie Foster's
girlfriend. But I'm not sure that she's all that closeted.
Granted, I've never heard her talk about her private life, but
there haven't been any heated denials or conspicuous hetero
dates, either. I think she's just a very private person.

I don't think she's closeted at all.

I saw her on one of the chat shows (Leno or Conan - can't remember
which) where she went on about her "boyfriend"....not that that
actually *means* anything.

jayne mansfield's daughter, isn't she?

Yuppers. I could see a couple hang-ups stemming from having her as a mom,
had her mom been alive longer. I haven't heard anything about Mariska
jumping sides, but then again, who knows.

No doubt she's the one wearing the belt! I'd watch!
She has her mother's eyes...well not literally ;)

A lot of people think that and she Jokes about it on Conan one night but
said she has a boyfriend. Incidentally a woman I know saw her in NYC with a
good looking guy and said they looked very much in love, so I'm inclined to
think the stories about her being a Lesbian are either wishful thinking by
some or because she has short hair and her character on her show is so
strident. But speaking as a guy, I don't pick up any Lesbian vibes from her.
Of course I've been wrong before, but I think if a woman as beautiful as
Mariska were, she would be like Ingrid Casares or Jenny Simizu (sp)(a
Japanese name) or one of the other drop dead beautiful Lesbians and every
Lesbian or Bi or straight woman "looking to experiment" in Hollywood would
pursuing her and I haven't hear anything like that from my sources, so my
vote, at this point is, that she's not a Lesbian.

Hmmm. Care to share your reasons for that statement? Everything I've ever
heard or read about Jayne Mansfield said she was *extremely* intelligent and
the "blonde bombshell" thing was just an act. Also heard she and Mickey
were good parents.
If you're talking about the fact that the children were in the back seat
asleep during the fatal car accident, then yes...I can see that would cause
some trauma. But you said "had her mom been alive longer".
Thanks, Gloria
When I think of Jayne Mansfield I think of those photos of her and
Sophia Loren, where more than a little bit of Jayne's cleavage is
showing and Sophia is eyeing it.

Yup. She went on and on about her boyfriend on Conan.
She is gorgeous when she had her hair longer (don't care for the short hair
look she has now)....I definitely do her!

:
He's bi? He's married? Good Lord, where *have* I been... this is all new
news to me.
Thanks for posting that. Hm, he's hot and...not twice her age. Go Mariska!
Susan, Su_Texas my opinions
She is the daughter of Jane Mansfield (and boxer Mickey Hargitay). She was in
the car with her mother during that fatal accident.
And she's around 40, and looks better than Demi, and I don't believe
Mariska has had any work done on herself.
I hated the character she played on ER, Dr. Mark Greene's whiny needy
doormat girlfriend. But she's a great actress to be able to do such
entirely different characters.

>I have read that he's married and has a young daughter. I also read
>that he was getting it on with one of his Oz co-stars.
I think he would be out about it if he were bi. Maybe he is, but it ain't my
business. He is very gay friendly. He's married to a set designer (or something
similar) named Sherman Williams and I am sure that causes confusion because his
spouse is a SHE even with that name. He does have a young daughter that is
under 2. Those who think he was doing something with one of the other Oz men,
well, I think that's just wishful thinking.

There was a TV documentary on in the UK about 3 weeks ago regarding
Jayne Mansfield and it was mentioned that Mariska has said she
"rememberers clearly" the accident. It also came out that Mickey beat
the hell out of Jayne on several occasions.
I'll say. I didn't even realize she was that character. Was it Cynthia?

Mariska would have been about four in 1967 and was the most seriously
injured of the kids, so it's no surprise that she remembers it.
From the books on Jayne I've read, Mickey was probably the best and
most patient of Jayne's husbands. Matt Cimber and Sam Brody (her
lawyer/lover who died with her) both beat her. It's been rumored that
Mariska isn't really Mickey's biologically. MH & JM were separated and
Jayne was dating some Italian guy when Mariska was conceived, but she
later went back to Mickey and he raised the child as his own.
Linda C.
You probably didn't recognize her because her hair was really long. I saw
the rerun a few weeks ago and said, "you know, that looks a little bit like
the girl on SVU."
Mickey was a bodybuilder who later was in a nightclub act with Mae West,
where Jayne spotted him. He now runs a plant business, but he was never
a boxer.
Linda C.
He was a bodybuilder though.
Mariska was incredibly funny on "Can't Hurry Love", Nancy
McKeon's sitcom. I'm surprised she hasn't done more comedy.
Didn't she star in a show with Jack Scalia awhile back?
I went to high school (Marymount) with her and she always said she
remembered nothing of the accident.

I wouldn't think she would remember the accident as she wasn't even 3
1/2 years old at the time. What was she like? I've heard she's a
very down to earth person, very nice. I'm glad she finally got some
success as she's a terrific actress.
Did Jayne Mansfield have implants or was she really that huge? I
always thought she had better legs than Marilyn Monroe, who really
didn't have that great of legs. I remember reading one book where
Marilyn's step-sister or foster sister said something like "I was
never jealous of MM because I always knew I had better legs."
I'm pretty sure she had implants.....those were not natural boobs.

And the Sophia and Jayne photos always manage to crack me up

More than a little, yeah. Li'l Kim wears more than that! Sophia
looks uncomfortable and annoyed--Jayne's thrusting her chest all over
the place.
Jayne was 100% real.
I remember reading an interview with Sophia somewhere that she said that she
kind of felt sorry for Jayne, because of the way Hollywood treated her and
that she wasn't a stupid girl.

Are these photos the same vintage as those in "Hollywood Babylon",
wherein the nipples were actually showing? Or was that another Fifties'
buxom blonde bombshell?

I've got the Babylon book somewhere, I remember that photo!

When the 60s came, Jayne Mansfield was a joke in Hollywood. Wasn't
she practically doing porno when she died, maybe soft porno?
Supposedly she had an IQ in the 160 range, at least that's what she
said. I was worried that Mariska might be treated badly in Hollywood,
like mother like daughter. Glad to see her succeed.
i'm pretty sure she's gay. so is meloni. well, bi at least.
i saw her some years ago on a talk show with jay mohr and she was
hysterically funny.
That would be the one. :)
Who cares.
Mariska probably wisely realized that she'd have a longer shelf life as a
serious actress than to mimic her mother's as a blonde bombshell. Besides, we
have the likes of Pam Anderson to fill that void.
I read an interview (Emmy Magazine, September I think) where Mariska
said she didn't want to be judged by her mother's fame (or infamy)
that is why she chose to keep her father's semi famous name (and her
birth name) rather than trade on her mother's instantly recognizable
name.

Jayne Mansfield: The brand called two
By Andrew Nelson
Salon
August 6, 2001
Excerpt:
........But by 1965 it was over. The "big girl" had become a desperate
woman. "An old bag" was how uncharitable mop top Paul McCartney
described the then 32-year-old actress to Playboy that June.
Mansfield's last two years were a sad decline. The press dried up.
Movie offers vanished. Her days consisted of fifths and fists as
alcohol and an abusive boyfriend, Los Angeles trial lawyer Sam Brody,
left their marks on the famous figure. Mansfield was reduced to rounds
of telethon and dinner theater appearances. She was returning to New
Orleans from just such an engagement in Biloxi, Miss., on June 29,
1967, when she died. Her car's driver, his vision obscured by a
mosquito sprayer, ran under a tractor-trailer. The collision peeled
back the car's roof -- instantly killing the driver, Mansfield, Brody
and two of the star's Chihuahuas. Even now the rumor persists that she
was decapitated. She wasn't. "Scalped" is the most polite word to
describe what happened.
snip
What destroyed Jayne Mansfield? Forget agents or pop historians. The
answer may lie with the alchemists of capitalism -- the brand
managers. Marketing consultant Matt Park, a former General Mills
product manager, is no stranger to packaged goods; he specialized in
Betty Crocker potatoes and Gold Medal flour. To Park, Mansfield's sad
fate is a case history of a product that failed to evolve with its
customer base.
"At that time the culture was moving from the '50s to the post-Kennedy
era," Park says. "The entire nation was reevaluating what was ideal,
what should change. The start of the antiwar, anti-military movement,
the rise of feminism -- these were significant shifts in the public's
attitude and mind-set. Mansfield never made the transition."
In marketing parlance, Mansfield the brand had lost her "resonance."
Her audience no longer wanted what she was selling. Hollywood's other
blond bombshell, Marilyn Monroe, had made an unexpected, if
posthumously fortuitous, career move by dying early enough (in 1962)
to avoid a similar fate. Mansfield was not so lucky; she overstayed
her welcome. When American male sexual fantasies turned from
torpedo-breasted pinups to braless hippie chicks somewhere in the
mid-1960s, Mansfield was doomed. The new competition was, at the time,
unlikely stars like flat-chested model Twiggy or raw-voiced rock
singer Janis Joplin.
Who cares if she's gay or if she's funny? As this is a gossip newsgroup, a lot
of people would probably interested to learn whether she's gay or not. That's
just one of the things we talk about a lot here....
Donna
My opinions might have changed, but not the fact that I am right.
It's too bad...seeking approval from all the wrong people. I can
believe Jayne wasn't a moron, she didn't make the best choices at
times, but many people who knew her say that she was a good soul. And
Mariska certainly isn't a dummy, doesn't she speak something like
three or four languages?
Not quite true. She did an early-morning talk show in NO while appearing
at Gus Stevens' supper club in Biloxi. The driver was Stevens' chauffeur.
Linda C.
That was Jayne & Sophia on the original HB cover. Jayne's nipple was
painted pink.
Linda C.
More like she's plopped it on the table in front of Sophia.
Linda C.
Thanks, Linda! I knew I remembered that one correctly. As though
anyone could forget... ;>
(It invoked fond memories of debauchery traipsing through the Village
and at Studio 51 with my fav friend from my college days...one of the
original Club Kids...)

I know what we talk about, but I just don't care if Mariska is gay or not.
Well, considering the mores of the day, having a pink nipple in your
face *had* to be rather off-putting! ;>
==========
Last night, I saw part of an old episode of L&O:SVU, where Mariska's
hair was longer & darker. Her beauty did detract some, from her
acting talent & from the story line. I like her hair better now
(shorter & lighter-colored), because it doesn't detract.
While I like L&O:SVU, my favorite is still L&O:CI with Vincent D'O.
Wow! :)
Susan, Su_Texas my opinions
She liked pink a lot. I read that the people who bought her home
tried to repaint the pool and other parts of the house, but every time
a coat of paint was applied, the pink would show through again. They
kept reapplying and reapplying paint but the pink color would keep
showing through all those layers. Some think it's a sort of haunting.
a friend of mine snagged me a chunk of this house during demolition (but don't
tell anyone!).
