Jayne Mansfield reminds me of Marilyn Monroe. They could literally pass for twins and yes, both of them have certain things in common.
Not only did they live in similar timeline, they were actresses, sex symbols, look so much alike with their blond hair, bedded US President John F Kennedy and his brother Robert, married more than once, had an affair with the founder of the church of Satan, Anton Lavey and both died quite early; Marilyn at 36 (1962) and Jayne at 34 (1967).
'Busty' Jayne lived in a lavish mansion called Pink Palace. Married three times and a mother of five, Jayne cheated on all her husbands, and they were said to have cheated on her in return. In 1963 she became the first actress to appear naked in a major Hollywood film.
As Jayne’s career floundered in 1966 she hooked up with Church of Satan founder Anton LaVey.
But she started to take him seriously after her six-year-old son Zoltan was mauled by a lion at a theme park in 1966.
She asked LaVey to use black magic to save her little boy.
The Satanist is said to have headed for a mountaintop to perform an incantation.
Hours later doctors said Zoltan would pull through.
Jayne also sought the Devil’s help in securing custody of her year-old son Tony during her divorce from final husband Matt Cimber.
She eventually won the case weeks before her death.
Both her controlling lawyer boyfriend Sam and LaVey tried to take the credit.
Jayne, who had 'a relaxed attitude to sin' became a high priestess of the Devil worshiper church and was rumored to be one of his many lovers. That did not sit well with her jealous boyfriend and lawyer Sam Brody, who then got on the wrong side of “the evilest man in the world”.
It was their battle for her devotion which is said to have led to the 'deadly curse' which people believe killed Jayne.
LaVey’s oldest daughter Karla, 65, once said: “Jayne wanted to get rid of (Sam) Brody, but he wouldn’t leave.
“He was touching certain implements in my father’s ritual chamber and he lit a candle in the shape of a skull, and my father said no one is supposed to do that.
"It’s a curse.”
Curse or not, Sam’s luck ran out on the night of June 29, 1967.
He was killed along with Jayne and driver Ronnie when their Buick crashed. The impact ripped the top of the car off, killing Jayne instantly.
It has long been rumored that she was decapitated, but cause of death was given as massive brain trauma.
Three of Jayne’s children sleeping in the back of the car survived.
