Sommario/riassunto

Here is a biography of tragicomic sex symbol Jayne Mansfield, one of the most colourful and eccentric movie stars of the 1950s-60s. The book examines both her life and her career, detailing her movie, TV, and stage work, as well as her drive to become an old-fashioned movie star at the end of the big-studio era.
