Which former almost A-list actress had fallen so far down the rung of Hollywood to a B/C-list level that she accepted, in between gigs in Vegas and roles in sexploitation flicks, that for some extra cash she slept with rich businessmen in Europe under the guise of a “nightclub tour”?
Jayne Mansfield
I guess Dubai wasn't as developed then.

ReplyDeleteShe wasn't really A list for very long. Maybe 2 years. She wasn't stupid either and not untalented. But why would things be different then, Egyptians and Arabs were still wealthy and looking to buy things for themselves.
ReplyDeleteI could read Old Hollywood blinds all day long. I think I like them better than the modern day ones. Keep em coming!
ReplyDeleteThis has been implied in some bios of her.
ReplyDeleteHer career took a hit when Marilyn died, like most of the blond bombshells.
ReplyDeleteI just meant that Dubai wasn't the center of vast wealth that it is now. People didn't hang out in Dubai, now it's a standard stop for photo ops and fake "fashion/beauty tours".
ReplyDeleteMaybe the rich businessmen in Europe weren't European.
+6 million
ReplyDeleteI enjoy them as well @ Zilla1--ahh" when moviestaaars were really moviestaaars...." And celebrity was a real 9 letter word and not synonymous with this one:famewhore
ReplyDeleteCompletely agree :-)

ReplyDeleteShe's Mariska Hartigay's mom right? I wonder how much of her mom's past she is aware of.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I hear about Mansfield I can't help but think of the famous photo of Sophia Loren side eyeing her cravass of cleavage! Lol
ReplyDeleteI bet Mariska is entirely aware of her mom's past. Mariska probably has done similar things in her past, only with some wealthy ladies instead of the gents.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I could read the old Hollywood blinds all the time. Not to crazy about the current people. This stuff here is the good stuff!!!
ReplyDeleteI guess her mom couldn't tell her much since Mariska was 4 when she died. Maybe her father filled in the blanks.
ReplyDeleteLove old Hollywood! No former tweeners, no Charlie Sheen-ers, no Viagra-fueled wieners, no Gwyneth P'ners. Just lots of little puppets hitting each other.
ReplyDeleteYacht girls have been around since the dawn of civilization.
ReplyDeleteThe United Arab Emirates were dirt poor in the 50s and 60s before money started rolling in from oil contracts. It was pretty undeveloped desert. One of the most amazing things about Dubai and Abu Dhabi is how rapidly they've developed into major metropolises (metropoloi?). So, no, in all likelihood it wasn't nouveau riche Arabs in Dubai patronizing Jayne Mansfield.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm completely bored
ReplyDeletePuppets be puppetting....
ReplyDeleteJust got done making some gifs. Then found out they had to be 2mb to upload. All of mine were 5mb or more. (I got one gif that's like 3hours long. Its got an intermission!) Back to drawing board.
ReplyDeleteI love that photo...that is a great side eye.
ReplyDeleteOh I didn't know she was only 4!
