The Mansfield Bar - Jayne Mansfield and the collision that took her life
quote:
The Mansfield Bar
If you’re around the same vintage as I am (62) you probably remember Jayne Mansfield or at least heard about her.
I know you’re probably wondering what Jayne Mansfield has to do with the automobile industry but actually, she had a lot to do with it.
Jayne was a 1950’s blond bombshell that took Hollywood by storm. Before she had a chance to make it really big she was killed in a car accident.
On June 29, 1967 the car she was riding in crashed into the rear of a tractor-trailer that had slowed down because of a truck spraying mosquito fogger. The automobile struck the rear of the semi tractor and under-rode it. She was killed instantly. Rumors that Mansfield was decapitated are untrue, though she did suffer severe head trauma.

65 y/o here. What I remember about this was she was wearing a wig and in the impact the wig came off and folks initially thought she was decapitated, you got to remember this was '67 and wigs were a rarity then.
