I bet the tubes to cool off at the drive in restaurant were the talk of the town.

Pretty brilliant to use your internet tubes to bring cold air and the web to your customers in their car.

Was not decapitated. I live here. Wears a mannequin head at the scene that made first folks there think that happened. Also, Mariska Hargitay was in the back seat.

Can you imagine being in the middle of time square...



And needing to take a dump. Miserable.

Wow, never heard that before. Thanks for the info. This from snopes.com:

Although Mansfield's actual mode of death was gruesome, she was not beheaded. According to the police report on the accident, "the upper portion of this white female's head was severed." Her death certificate notes a "crushed skull with avulsion (forcible separation or detachment) of cranium and brain." One thinks of a beheading as the neck's being sliced through, causing the head to be separated from the body, but that is clearly not what happened here. Scalping is perhaps a closer description of Mansfield's fate, but even that word does not accurately reflect the cranial trauma she suffered, because scalping victims at least retain an intact skull. The Angel of Death did not afford Mansfield this luxury: Her skull was cracked or sliced open, and a sizeable piece of it was carried away.

As gruesome as this mode of death was, it at least had the benefit of being quick. Mansfield probably never felt what happened to her, and because of the sharply reduced visibility conditions on the road that night, she likely had only an instant of "We're going to crash!" shock to cope with before the impact.

Kenneth Anger's 1975 Hollywood Babylon contains a controversial photo of the wrecked Electra which shows Mansfield's dead dog lying beside the car as well as another item that has aroused considerable dicussion, something that appears to be a clutch of human hair. Debate continues as to whether what was captured in that photo was the top part of Mansfield's head, a wig she was wearing (or carrying) at the time of the crash, or something else entirely.

I knew Mansfield's daughter survived the crash. She was just a toddler then. Her two older brothers survived, also.

I gotta admit, I feel a tad emasculated

Jayne Mansfield wasn't actually decapitated, but did die instantly and suffered major head trauma.
