Jayne Mansfield Trivia
|
- Producer Louis W. Kellman always said that he "discovered" Jayne Mansfield. He gave the then little known actress her first starring role (Gladden, Dan Duryea's sexy-but-shy gun moll kid sister) in The Burglar (1957) after seeing the normally jaded and unflappable film crew's "overheated" reaction to her on the set of Pete Kelly's Blues (1955) in which she had a small part.
- Had five children: Jayne Marie Mansfield (b. 8 November 1950), Miklos Hargitay, Jr. (b. 21 December 1958), Zoltan Hargitay (b. 1 August 1960), Mariska Hargitay (b. 24 January 1964), & Antonio Raphael Ottaviano Cimber (b. 18 October 1965).
- Initally divorced Hargitay on 1 May 1963; she divorced him again in Juarez, Mexico. On 26 August 1964, the California Superior Court recognized the Mexican divorce pronouncement.
- Son Zoltan was critically injured by a "tame" lion while visiting the Jungleland Zoo in the San Fernando Valley, but made a full recovery. (December 1966)
- Turned down the role of Ginger Grant in "Gilligan's Island" (1964).
