Jayne Mansfield was known as America's "Smartest Dumb Blonde." But
her seductive smile and eye-popping hourglass figure overshadowed
the 'real' Jayne, who spoke five languages and was a concert
violist and pianist. A woman ahead of her time, she was both a
mother and a celebrated sex symbol. Driven to reach the heights of
show business, her story reads like a fairy tale - but one with a
gloomy side and an unhappy, tragic end. A British film critic once
described her as we should remember her: "She has been as good an
actress as her bubble-and-squeak roles have permitted her to be.
The lady is friendly, the lady is warm-hearted, the lady is always
good for a laugh." Richard Koper is the author of "Fifties Blondes:
Sexbombs, Sirens, Bad Girls and Teen Queens." He works as a family
therapist and holds an extensive collection of 1950's film
memorabilia.
An illustrated look at the lives and careers of the sexiest women
of the 1950s. From major star to starlet, author Richard Koper
shows that gentlemen still perfer blondes!
