Satan, who later wrote THE SATANIC BIBLE. ...
"Jayne
lived with awful dread during the last year of her life when she believed that a
curse had been put on her. ...
She traced all her present difficulties back to the
fall of 1966 when she and Sam Brody attended the San Francisco
Film Festival. At that time a press agent invited the
couple to visit Anton LaVey, the Devil, who was head of a black
magic cult which met at his home. While there Brody
touched a silver chalice and two skulls which were lying on
LaVey's mantel. Brody had been informed beforehand by
the Devil, as he prefers being called, that a curse had
been placed upon those objects and that anyone would die as a result of touching
them. Brody laughed and said
he wasn't superstitious.
Then the Devil remarked that [Brody] and Jayne would both be killed tragically
and
suddenly within a year. ...
Almost a year later, Anton LaVey called upon Jayne at
her fabulous home, asking if she would don a bikini and pose
with him wearing his Devil costume, which consisted of
a cape and a headpiece with horns, over a robe-like garment.
He wanted Jayne to pose with the silver chalice and
skulls. She preferred wearing a dress and agreed to the rest, with
a feeling of obligation to the press agent who arranged
the meeting. After this, Jayne, Brody, and Jayne's children
entertained the Devil and served refreshments. Five
hours later Jayne and Brody were in a car accident which
completely demolished the brand new Masserati Brody had
given Jayne, and which he was driving. A week later Brody,
while driving his own car, was hit again, and he
suffered a broken leg and ribs. A week later both Jayne and Brody were
killed in a crash on the way to New Orleans.
Now let us
recall the car accidents in a series of three, each spaced seven days apart. I
don't know much about Ju Ju
and Voo Doo, but I do know
that exact spaces of time are a necessary contingent upon the success of curses."

The car crash that killed Jayne Mansfield and her boyfriend was
supposedly the result of a Satanic curse:
Jayne had been home a few days when Anton
Lavey arrived from San Francisco at the Pink Palace.
Jayne was
gracious but secretly terrified of the so-called Devil.
"If you don't
leave Sam Brody immediately, you will get it too, Jayne! The curse is on
him and this house!
Anyone who places himself under the same cloud
will get it! said the tall, dark man in the Devil's cape
and cap with
horns, as he walked through the Pink Palace from room to room.
Jayne followed along, alternately laughing and crying and at last pleading.
"Please take the curse off of
Sam and the house," she begged.
"Please!"
"I cannot!" The man was adamant. "Once it is
given, no power on Earth, not even I, can remove it!"
Lavey had come
from his Devil's church in San Francisco to ask Jayne to pose for some publicity
pictures
with him. When I learned of it I told Jayne, "You must be out
of your mind." But Jayne said, "Oh May, it's
just for publicity."
However she confided in Linda, "I'm so scared. Everything has gone wrong
since we
met him in San Francisco and he cursed Sam. ... "
"Maybe if
I pose for the picture with Anton Lavey, he'll take the curse off Sam and the
house even though
he says he can't." ...
I had said to Jayne,
scolding her soundly that last night I saw her, "Jayne, when this man proclaims
himself
the Devil no good can come of seeing him. Besides, the
terrible feeling there is in this house!"
"Yes I know," Jayne replied.
"I was only seeing him in trying to get him to remove the curse from Sam and
the house."

During her career and long after her death, "Mavis"
was incorrectly said to be the real first-name of actress Diana Dors, "the
English Marilyn Monroe."
The first documented girl named "Mavis" is a
character in the 1895 novel THE SORROWS OF SATAN, about a writer who sells his
soul to the devil.
The Broadway play that made Jayne Mansfield
famous, "WILL SUCCESS SPOIL ROCK HUNTER?" is about a writer who sells his soul
to the devil.
In "WILL SUCCESS SPOIL ROCK HUNTER?" Jayne Mansfield
spoofed Marilyn Monroe. Jayne's death was supposedly the result of a
Satanic curse. ...
The 1957 Hollywood film "WILL
SUCCESS SPOIL ROCK HUNTER? is only loosely based on the Broadway play.
The
film still has Jayne Mansfield starring as Rita Marlowe, but the film omits the
entire deal-with-the devil theme.
Reports from the scene of Jayne Mansfield's fatal car crash
gave birth to the longstanding legend that Jayne Mansfield was beheaded:
"Mansfield's wig was
thrown to the side of the road, where it was mistaken in news stories for her
head."

Although the front-page caption refers to
"eerie coincidences" between actresses Jayne Mansfield and Loni Anderson, the
article merely states a few mundane similarities:
"Both actresses
got their big breaks on Broadway after dying their hair blonde, both had babies
in teenage marriages that failed, and both became legendary sex symbols."
In 1967, Jayne Mansfield was killed in her mid-30's (34) in a car
crash along with her boyfriend and their temporary driver for the night. ...
In 1997, Princess Diana was killed in her mid-30's (36) in a car crash along
with her boyfriend and their temporary driver for the night. ...
Those
were the only two car crashes ever in which the only people killed were a
world-famous woman, her boyfriend and their driver. ...
The crash that
killed Jayne Mansfield seemingly fulfilled a year-long curse by Satanist Anton
Lavey. ...
"Jayne
lived with awful dread during the last year of her life when she believed that a
curse had been put on her. ...
She traced all her present difficulties back to the
fall of 1966 when she and Sam Brody attended the San Francisco
Film Festival. At that time a press agent invited the
couple to visit Anton LaVey, the Devil, who was head of a black
magic cult which met at his home. While there Brody
touched a silver chalice and two skulls which were lying on
LaVey's mantel. Brody had been informed beforehand by
the Devil, as he prefers being called, that a curse had
been placed upon those objects and that anyone would die as a result of touching
them. Brody laughed and said
he wasn't superstitious.
Then the Devil remarked that [Brody] and Jayne would both be killed tragically
and
suddenly within a year. ...
Almost a year later, Anton LaVey called upon Jayne at
her fabulous home, asking if she would don a bikini and pose
with him wearing his Devil costume, which consisted of
a cape and a headpiece with horns, over a robe-like garment.
He wanted Jayne to pose with the silver chalice and
skulls. She preferred wearing a dress and agreed to the rest, with
a feeling of obligation to the press agent who arranged
the meeting. After this, Jayne, Brody, and Jayne's children
entertained the Devil and served refreshments. Five
hours later Jayne and Brody were in a car accident which
completely demolished the brand new Masserati Brody had
given Jayne, and which he was driving. A week later Brody,
while driving his own car, was hit again, and he
suffered a broken leg and ribs. A week later both Jayne and Brody were
killed in a crash on the way to New Orleans.
Now let us
recall the car accidents in a series of three, each spaced seven days apart. I
don't know much about Ju Ju
and Voo Doo, but I do know
that exact spaces of time are a necessary contingent upon the success of curses."

more Broadway columns and movie magazines than any other actress alive.
A
number of Hollywood studios are bidding for her services and there seems to be a
very good chance that she will someday become a full-fledged
movie queen.
... Many have compared Miss Mansfield to Marilyn Monroe. This is perhaps
inevitable for in WILL SUCCESS SPOIL ROCK HUNTER?

rollicking caricature of a dumb blonde movie queen. Moreover she just naturally
has the same come-hither-you-brute sort of voice
and look as Miss Monroe."

make Jayne Mansfield their studio's new dumb blond
movie star of 1956. ... Twentieth Century-Fox, which had been unable to
