Jayne Mansfield
This book is a fun read. The author, a close friend of Jayne's, sometimes seems to bend the truth a little. This is a book Jayne would have been proud of. Fact and Fiction are confused and her legendary image is preserved. I thouroughly enjoyed it as an homage to a great Love Goddess and a great entertainer.

This book is a fun read. The author, a close friend of Jayne's, sometimes seems to bend the truth a little. This is a book Jayne would have been proud of.

This review is from: Jayne Mansfield;: A biography (Hardcover)
Wow -- I first read this book when I was ten and just finished re-reading it now that I am 33 and a writer myself. Mann paints a glorious, personal picture of Jayne, but periods and events seem glossed over and there is little mention of Jayne's decline into B and C films and her drinking problem. Mann must have had a wonderful editor while she was a columnist, because she certainly didn't have one for this book. The spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors are so frequent, one wonders if she did it on purpose. Pretty shoddy in that respect, but a good read if you can get past the fact that clearly no one proofread this material. ...
