Tales Of The Unexplained- The Blonde Bombshell & Satan's Curse

What Caused The Collision That Killed Hollywood Star Jayne Mansfield?

Her name had shone in lights above cinemas worldwide. She’d been on 500 magazine covers.

And in 1960, more words were printed about US film star Jayne Mansfield than anyone else alive at the time.

Newspapers detailed her alleged affairs with directors, politicians, actors… They covered her album releases, discussed her meeting with the Queen, and when she bared all for Playboy.

Then, in 1967, Jayne Mansfield got her biggest headline – she was dead, killed in a car crash at just 34.

On 29 June, she and her boyfriend Sam Brody had been at Gus Stevens Supper Club in Biloxi, Mississippi.

They left after midnight, and headed for New Orleans in their chauffeur-driven Buick Electra.

Little more than two hours later, their car crashed into the back of a trailer on US Highway 90.

Jayne, Sam and their 20-year-old chauffeur Ronnie Harrison were killed.

Some journalists reported the car had run under the trailer, and that Jayne had been decapitated.

It seemed Ronnie had been speeding and hadn’t noticed the mosquito fogger on the roadside, chugging out a dense cloud of insecticide across the fields.
