"Jayne" Documentary

[Anonymous]

Anyone watch it?

It's about Jayne Mansfield's life. Jayne was the mother of Mariska Hargitay.

It is a fascinating, and complex, story which I found moving.

FWIW, Jayne's tragic death was the impetus behind a Federal law requiring large trucks to have bars across the back so cars don't slide underneath during a rear-end collision. Who knows how many countless lives have been saved because of it. It is commonly referred to as the "Mansfield bar" on trucks.

I absolutely loved it! Even the editing at times was even poetic, nostalgic and beautiful. Just so well-crafted, honest and loving. Beyond just a love letter to her mom, it was also about parenthood, the secrets people keep and their consequences.

Agree. It's one of the better documentaries I've seen in awhile. Very well done.

Can we talk about what amazing people Mickey and her steopmother were? They gave her a loving home with her siblings even when they weren’t her real parents.

Except they WERE her real parents. Just not her biological ones.

Agree. So much affection for her dad, I was surprised there were was no gratefulness directly expressed for her step mom.

It was very well done.
