To remember what would have been Jayne Mansfield’s 90th birthday, Mariska Hargitay shared a special message and photo on Instagram. She said, “Mom, happy birthday. We love and miss you more every day.” She also shared memories with her mom in a short video on her Instagram Story.
Jayne Mansfield, originally named Vera Jayne Palmer, was a famous actress known for her beauty during the 1950s and 1960s. People often compared her to Marilyn Monroe because of her blonde bombshell image.
She starred in movies like “The Girl Can’t Help It,” “Promises! Promises!,” and “The Sheriff of a Fractured Jaw.” She also became a Playboy Playmate, which got her a lot of attention.
Sadly, Jayne Mansfield died young in a car accident in 1967 when she was 34 years old. Her daughter Mariska, who was just three at the time, was in the car but thankfully wasn’t hurt. The accident also took the lives of Jayne’s friend and lawyer Sam Brody and their driver Ronnie Harrison.
