"Biography "
Reviewer: Sandra M Preston
I first saw this documentary
on A&E and was excited that a program decided to FINALLY
pay homage to an almost forgotten and overlooked star of Hollywood.
I grew up in the 1950's and I never even knew much about Jayne
Mansfield. Most of the time she was immediately linked to Marilyn
Monroe as sort of a copycat. Jayne held her own and her story
was inspiring for those who want to achieve a goal that seems
impossible. However, her life took some unexpected turns , but
she always stayed a trooper to her popularity. This documentary
chronicles her rise and fall on the Hollywood scene like no other
program concerning a star that remains a legacy. I became an
instant fan and have remained one since. Her talent didn't always
lay in film, but she was a wonderful comic actress on television
and for the troops during Bob Hope's U.S.O. tours. I encourage
anyone to see this video and you won't be sorry for the choice
made. Watch it and this bio. will amaze you about the Blonde
Bombshell that could have been more. Thank you A&E and Amazon. |
