Welcome to

Jayne Mansfield was normally an unrepentant exhibitionist, but this time
she admitted she had
gone too low:
"I know now that I must not wear dresses too low... I can't say I blame
some of the newspaper people for saying it was too low,
because when I bent
over Sophia Loren too much of me was exposed.
I saw it in the photographs and I was shocked myself."

I never never want
to go home
Jayne Mansfield's real first name was Vera. ...
Vera (Jayne
Mansfield) died in a
car crash
supposedly caused by a
curse specifically encompassing her boyfriend and her
home. ...
Her closest friend,
Hollywood columnist May Mann, wrote about the
"terrible feeling" the curse gave to Jayne Mansfield's home:
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."
- May Mann. JAYNE MANSFIELD: A Biography by May Mann. Published 1973.
Jayne's real first-name was Vera. On THE QUEEN IS DEAD, the last of the
lines containing the interrupted spelling of "v-e-r-a" is, "I never never want
to go home."
Anton Lavey, founder of the Church of Satan, and author
of THE SATANIC BIBLE, paid his only visit to Jayne Mansfield's home just two
weeks before her death.
Jayne's fatal car crash was supposedly caused
by Lavey's Satanic curse on Jayne's boyfriend and on the house in which he
lived, which happened to be Jayne's home.
