The book is bound in a brick cloth with metallic blue lettering on front panel and spine. The binding is tight and the pages are clean and sparkling throughout.

Jayne Mansfield was extremely intelligent, but promoted herself as the ultimate dumb blonde. The book helps answer why. the dest jacket has chipping in the spine area, several small tears, and light soiling. I've placed the dust jacket into a Brodart protective… Leer más

Without a pang of guilt or doubt Jayne exploited her body to achieve success; at the height of her stardom she used her physical endowments to "promote" clothes, furniture, groceries and airline tickets. Her ambition was not to be an actress but a "personality" and she was… Leer más
