Maybe I'm the only one who finds it kind of neat. Apparently, Jayne Mansfield was a distant relative of my family. I just found this out, along with the fact that she died in a 1966 Electra 225. Not a huge long story but pretty creepy.
Her daughter, Mariska Hargitay, is an actress on the Law & Order: SVU series on television. I belive she was in the car when her mom died. That's creepy.
Jayne is buried in a cemetary outside of Bangor,Pa. Her headstone is a large,pink colored heart. I have been there a few times .
Mariska has been on tv talkshows and talked about this and her Dad, Mickey Hargitay, a famous bodybuilder, quite alot
oh yea, I once had an affair with Pamela Anderson,when I woke up I was with Palmala Handerson....oops off topic,sorry
My dad was the administrator of Conjeo Valley Hospital in Thousand Oaks CA. back in 1966 when her son Zolton Hargitay was admitted because he mauled by a lion at Jungleland in Thousand Oaks. He ended up undergoing brain surgery and was hospitalized for a month there. My dad constantly complained about all the media that hung around... She was killed about 6 months later... and Jungleland went out of business...
just looked her up at www.findagrave.com it has 2 listing for her, in one it said she's in forever cemetert LA and the next listing said she's in fairveiw cemetery Pa. short bio and pictures there too
I was 14 when the crash happen and it was crazy news all over about how bad she got messed up........ She was a BIG hit to all us YOUNG guys at the time.......... And a good actress! THEY SHOWED THE CAR OVER AND OVER, It was a mess needless to say........
Guess that makes George Barris one sick **** for displaying James Dean's Spyder before it "dissapeared".
I am a distant relative of Soupy Sales. Funny, we both loved getting a pie in the face. Hmmm, small world, isn't it?
