1 00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,440 Speaker 1: Greetings, good people of Hollywood Land. You are in for 2 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:09,400 Speaker 1: a treat this week. One of my favorite characters from 3 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,479 Speaker 1: the corner of Hollywood in true crime. I'm talking about 4 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:17,240 Speaker 1: the iconic Jane Mansfield. This episode has a little bit 5 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:21,479 Speaker 1: of everything, the vastness of Marilyn Monroe's shadow, the Church 6 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:26,079 Speaker 1: of Satanism, and some myth busting from a miscategorized gory 7 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 1: cause of death. There's also a touch of the supernatural here, 8 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,160 Speaker 1: and so, without further ado, we Hear at Double Elvis 9 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,560 Speaker 1: present to you our story on the one and only 10 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:43,919 Speaker 1: Jane Mansfield. This episode contains content that may be disturbing 11 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: to some listeners. Please check the show notes for more information. 12 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:53,599 Speaker 1: Hollywood Land is a production of Double Elvis Rival. 13 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 2: Layed On Our Way, lay On Out of My Heart. 14 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 2: No lie your dead guy on the way, No lie, 15 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:07,400 Speaker 2: you bad guys. 16 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: The stories about Jane Mansfield are insane. She stripped down 17 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: for the very first nude scene in a major motion picture. 18 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 1: She wiled the pants off men as Hollywood's leading sexpot, 19 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: and then she scared the pants off of them when 20 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 1: she publicly bonded with Anton Levy, founder of the Church 21 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: of satan Magazines condemned her and called her a Satan slave. 22 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: Jane called it a good opportunity for publicity. She was 23 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 1: a genius, a bombshell, and a mother in an industry 24 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: that demanded women be single, dumb, and blonde. She died 25 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,759 Speaker 1: in an accident so gruesome and so bizarre that it's 26 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: easy to suspect supernatural forces were involved. But before that 27 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: fatal road trip, Jane Mansfield made great films. Unlike that 28 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: clip I played for you at the top of the show. 29 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: That wasn't a clip from a great film. That was 30 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: a fair youth sample from the Library of Congress of 31 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: Viola Brown performing drive Old Satan Away from nineteen thirty nine. 32 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: I played you that clip because I can't afford the 33 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: rights to Robert Aldrich's The Dirty Dozen. And why would 34 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: I play you that specific slice of proto suicide squad Cheese. 35 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: Could I afford it? Because that was the number one 36 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: movie in America on June twenty ninth, nineteen sixty seven, 37 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 1: And that was the day that thirty four year old 38 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: Jane Mansfield lost her head. In this episode, nude scenes, 39 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 1: supernatural forces, gruesome accidents, and Satan's showgirl, Jane Mansfield I'm 40 00:02:46,040 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: Jake Brennan and this is Hollywood lamb. Anton Levy maneuvered 41 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: the blades with caution. His scissors moved through the page 42 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: like a hot knife through devil's food cake, cutting excess 43 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: paper away from the sacred image in his hands. A 44 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: photograph of him posing for a German magazine in front 45 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: of Marilyn Monroe's mausoleum A damn good photograph, if he 46 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 1: said so himself. It was printed in black and white, 47 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: just like Anton's wardrobe, just like the inside of Anton's 48 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: home where he toiled away. Now he called it the Blackhouse, 49 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: aka the headquarters for the Church of Satan. Anton's own 50 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: invention the church's raven black exterior called to the goth 51 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: prototypes on the streets of San Francisco. This is the 52 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: place for you to indulge, to explore, to take a 53 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: walk on the weird side. The devil wasn't actually present 54 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: at the Church of Satan, and that wasn't what Anton's 55 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: new religion was about. People always got that part wrong. 56 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: Satanism was about worshiping the self. It honored the dark 57 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 1: desires lurking at the bottom of your heart, the lustful 58 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: thoughts that most people were too afraid to acknowledge, let 59 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: alone share. Jane Mansfield wasn't afraid to share anything with 60 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 1: Anton LeVay That silver screen sex pot was born to 61 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: walk these black halls. Anton made her a high priestess 62 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: in his church, even if Jane denied her title to 63 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: the papers, said she wasn't a member of his black circle, 64 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: and reminded the tabloids that she was born a Methodist, 65 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: called herself Catholic, and had ties to Orthodox Judaism. Through 66 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: her vow slash lawyer, Anton knew better. Jane would never 67 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: fully divulge just how much Anton taught her. Between these walls. 68 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: She learned in the shadows. Anton taught her about the 69 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 1: nature of paradise and hell, about casting spells and practicing rituals. 70 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: Jane certainly believed enough to call Anton every morning for 71 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: a happy spell that enchanted the day ahead of her, 72 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: and their worlds collided many times, often with a photographer 73 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: trailing behind them. Sometimes it was the same German photographer 74 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: who snapped these very shots of Anton at Marilynd's grave 75 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: that he was holding tonight. Anton made the final sniff 76 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: across at the top of the page, and a chill 77 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: crawled up his spine. Something was wrong. He turned the 78 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: magazine page over. A photo of Jane was on the 79 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: opposite side. He had just clipped her head clean off. 80 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: Another chill seized him. Yes, something was very wrong. The 81 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,039 Speaker 1: phone rang. Must be Jane calling for a belated happy spell, 82 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: and there was nothing happy about what the voice on 83 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: the other end had to say. It wasn't Jane, it 84 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: was a reporter. Jane Mansfield was dead. The cause of 85 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: death incapitation. Jane Mansfield arched her back over the lip 86 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: of the bathtub. SuDS dribbled past her shoulders and down 87 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 1: her chest. But not too many SuDS. Act natural, the 88 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 1: director told her. But put on a show. Jane can 89 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: do bold simultaneously. Easy. She stretched her arms into the 90 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: air for a few more seconds, let the camera linger 91 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: on her assets, and then she slipped back under the 92 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: hot water, just her torso, not her chest. Jane wasn't 93 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: being paid to be modest today. Thank god for champagne. 94 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: Liquid courage carried her through her first nude scene for 95 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: this movie, and it would get her through this one too. 96 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: The movie was called Promises, Promises, and the director said 97 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: it was a sex comedy. He assured Jane it wasn't porn, 98 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: but he also said he wanted to get as close 99 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 1: to porn without crossing the line. Jane had her own 100 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: line she drew with the camera crew. She'd go topless 101 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: and then they could shoot her stomach. Sure, but they 102 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: weren't to let that camera lens wander an inch below 103 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: her hips. That's the boundary that Jane was comfortable with, 104 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: well what her husband was comfortable with. Because Jane Mansfield 105 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: was not ashamed of being naked. If the public wanted 106 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: to ogle her figure, she wasn't stopping anyone, and they 107 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: were going to peak, whether or not Jane felt comfortable anyway. 108 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: Stranger's eye fucked her before she even bought her first brad, 109 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: before she was even a teenager. And not just men either, 110 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: other girls couldn't keep their eyes and hands off Jane's 111 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:30,559 Speaker 1: forbidden fruit. Jane never rejected the attention. She leaned into it, 112 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: took pride in it. As a teenager, she kept a 113 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: tally of how many boys she kissed in her diary. 114 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: Every day had its own tally every day. Jane's mother 115 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: told her that sexual attraction was something to hide. Bullshit. 116 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: No one was holding their desires from her that was 117 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: for sure, and she definitely wasn't about to suppress herself 118 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: to appease any prudes. Jane had sex appeal in spades, 119 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: kind people paid for repeatedly. Jane learned that when she 120 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: was studying at the Dallas Institude of Performing Arts, she 121 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,679 Speaker 1: stripped down for some photos before her big acting bricks 122 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: so she could put food on the table for her daughter. 123 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,239 Speaker 1: And that gig led the paid work as a nude 124 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: model in a woman's sculpting class. And by the time 125 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: Jane broke into Hollywood, she wielded her body like a 126 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: weapon of mass seduction. So yeah, let them look, and 127 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,239 Speaker 1: if people wanted to pay Jane for it, even better. 128 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: Jane was getting two paychecks for today's shoot, one from 129 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,679 Speaker 1: the movie Studio for one hundred and fifty thousand dollars 130 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: and plus another check for twenty five grand from Playboy 131 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: for the pictorial that were shooting while Jane writhed around 132 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: topless on set. The money was secondary for Jane. The 133 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: real payoff would be relevance. After all, Jane Mansfield was 134 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: making history. She was doing something Marilyn Monroe couldn't do. 135 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: Marilyn dropped dead before she had the chance Jane was 136 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: going to be the first star to bear it all 137 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: in a major motion picture. Jane could have easily taken 138 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: Marilyn's place, could have, except suddenly production companies didn't want 139 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: them and row a stand in such as Ki Novak 140 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 1: or maybe Van Dooren to be their leading role. By 141 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: the early sixties, the era ditzy blondes was done, So 142 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: Jane Mansfield wasn't a ditch, but she had to act 143 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: down pat She boasted a squeal that sounded like steam escaping. 144 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: She could sing and twirl and freely outfits better than 145 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,679 Speaker 1: any vapid airhead, then take a barbed joke at her 146 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: expense in the next scene like it was nothing. And 147 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: you'd never know that she had an IQ of one 148 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty three and that's genius level, by the way. 149 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: And you'd never know she was first chair violin in 150 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: school when she was only fourteen, and that she spoke French, 151 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 1: in German and Italian. That's just good acting. But no 152 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 1: one wanted Jane Mansfield to act. They wanted her to exhibit, 153 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: just like she was doing now in the bathtub, because 154 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: no one showed off like Jane Mansfield. Twentieth century Fox disagreed. 155 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 1: Jane churned out a few mega hit movies for them 156 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 1: in the nineteen fifties, like The Girl Can't Help It 157 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: and Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter. Fox started loaning Jane 158 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 1: out to film Come and He's overseas, collecting hundreds of 159 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: thousands of dollars for the arrangement, while Jane only received 160 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 1: her standard salary. That was the first red flag. Fox 161 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 1: made the split official shortly thereafter, and released Jane from 162 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: her contract in July nineteen sixty two. Their loss hadn't 163 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 1: been learned. People were always going to look at Jane Mansfield, 164 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,319 Speaker 1: so let them look and charge them while you're at it. 165 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: Jane tossed back another flu to champagne and spread out 166 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: in the tub for another take. All eyes were on her, 167 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: just the way it was meant to be. Jane Mansfield 168 00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 1: was a modern aphrodite. She stacked a forty one inch 169 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: bust on top of a twenty two inch waist, or 170 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: so she claimed. She was a bombshell who could blow 171 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: away any man to bits, but no one would touch her. 172 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: They'd look, sure, but they wouldn't reach out. Not anymore. Promises, 173 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: promises made damn sure of that. The movie about to 174 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 1: make Jane even more notorious. Jane Mansfield was notorious all right, 175 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: notorious for creating scandals and courtrooms across the country. Now 176 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 1: see all of Jane Mansfield. The promotional poster declared that 177 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: was a lie. The film crew followed Jane's strict orders 178 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 1: about not panning below her waist. The photographers at Playboy 179 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: had other ideas. Her spread in the June nineteen sixty 180 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: three issue bared at all her tits, her ass hanging 181 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: over the edge of the tub, sleek curve of her hips. 182 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: It was the best selling issue in the magazine's history 183 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 1: at the time, with over two million copies sold. Not 184 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: even Marilyn did those numbers when she was alive, and 185 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: when the issue was banned in parts of Europe, the 186 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: English black market kept a steady supply in circulation. Jane 187 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 1: Mansfield was the talk of the industry, and not in 188 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: a good way. Though Promises Promises was banned in Pittsburgh 189 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: nearly banned in Cleveland, Jane was condemned on the floor 190 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,559 Speaker 1: of various state legislatures for her scenes riding around nude 191 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 1: and bed. Hugh Hefner, for his part as Playboy's publisher 192 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: was arrested for distributing obscene literature. The same public that 193 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: snapped up those nude photos condemned Jane for her exhibitionism. 194 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: And they knew that only desperate women took their tops off, 195 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: and Jane must be pretty desperate because she was stripping 196 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 1: down on screen and in real life. But movies were 197 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: never Jane's cash cow. It was the nightlife that brought 198 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: in big bucks for Bucks and blondes like herself. Jane 199 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: earned her coins with club appearances and by flirting with 200 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: crowds in real time. Her deal with the Dunes Hotel 201 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles earned her thirty five thousand dollars a week, 202 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: way more than Fox ever paid her. Even at the 203 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: height of her startup, Jane developed a saucy new act 204 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: after promises promises, a strip tease number called Satire. On 205 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 1: the strip, no one was laughing. The number torpedoed her 206 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: reputation as a movie bombshell and sankor to a lower 207 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: level of celebrity. Jane Mansfield was overexposed, not just her body, 208 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 1: her whole life. She wrote the blueprint for reality TV 209 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 1: stars throughout the nineteen fifties and sixties. Jane saw it 210 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 1: as her solemn duty as a celebrity to share every 211 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: detail of her life with the public. And if there 212 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: weren't any snappy headlines about Jane in the papers at 213 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: any given time, well, let's just say she'd get the 214 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: ball rolling in the typewriter's clacking. Jane walked her pet 215 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 1: ocelots down Hollywood Boulevard. Yes I mean oslots, as in 216 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 1: the medium sized spotted wild cats, and yes, Jane Mansfield 217 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,680 Speaker 1: kept wild cats as pets. She went shopping in nothing 218 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: but a leopard print bikini, invited photographers inside her pink 219 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 1: palace on Sunset Boulevard like an episode of Cribs, and 220 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 1: Jane ushered them through Mediterranean style mansion complete with metallic 221 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,439 Speaker 1: gold ceilings and walls lined with plush pink carpet, and 222 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: they snapped photos of her pink satin curtains in office 223 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 1: with padded red vinyl for walls, a heart shaped bathtub 224 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: with gold faucets, a hard shaped swimming pool, hard shaped everything. 225 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: Newspapers ran roughly twenty five hundred photographs of Jane between 226 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: September of nineteen fifty six. In May of nineteen fifty seven, 227 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: journalists dedicated one hundred and twenty two thousand lines of 228 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: text to her glamorous lifestyle on the same time frame. 229 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 1: But by the mid nineteen sixties, the Princess of publicity 230 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: was starting to lose her grip on the crown. People 231 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: knew too much about Jane's knack for inventing her own stories. 232 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: When Jane went missing in the Bahamas and was found 233 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 1: wrecked on an island after a boating accident, people wondered. 234 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 1: When Jane mourned one of her chuahuas, a dog she 235 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: said was Catholic and buried her in a bronze casket 236 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: in a public ceremony, people wondered. They wondered what was real. 237 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: Yet no one wondered about the s state of her 238 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: film career. It was clear that Jane Mansfield and her 239 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 1: pink clad curves were just a relic of the nineteen fifties. 240 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: She wasn't even invited to the nineteen sixty six San 241 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: Francisco Film Festival. That didn't stop her from attending. Jane 242 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: wasn't there for the celebrities. She was in San Francisco 243 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: for the characters, the free thinkers who were shocking the 244 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 1: world from the Bay Area. She heard about one particular 245 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: man who wore the pants and counterculture, the man who 246 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 1: wore the horns. Rather, Anton Leavay, nineteen sixty six wasn't 247 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty six. Not to Anton LaVey, it wasn't. It 248 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: was year one, the first year of the Church of Satan, 249 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: a time for new beginnings. Anton shaved his head to 250 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: honor the moment. He wanted to look like an executioner. 251 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: He was here to strike down everything that had been 252 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: holding you back, to unleash the desires you'd kept hidden. 253 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: The Church of Satan stood for greed, selfishness, freedom, sexual 254 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 1: read him. He set up his church on California Street 255 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: in San Francisco. The Church of Satan was shiny, black 256 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 1: and new. It needed followers. Anton LaVey needed more eyes on, 257 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: and so did Jane Mansfield. Jane's publicist approved of her 258 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: meeting Anton. He thought the local calumnists could have a 259 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: field day with their introduction. Jane and Anton linked up 260 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 1: at the nineteen sixty six San Francisco Film Festival. Somehow 261 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 1: the details of their meeting are shrouded in mystery. But 262 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 1: the details of the curse that Anton put on her family, well, 263 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 1: that's just public record.
