Blind Items Revealed #6 - Old Hollywood - Mr. X

July 8, 2015

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.

She 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.

I could read Old Hollywood blinds all day long. I think I like them better than the modern day ones. Keep em coming!

This has been implied in some bios of her.

Her career took a hit when Marilyn died, like most of the blond bombshells.

I 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".
Maybe the rich businessmen in Europe weren't European.

I 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

She's Mariska Hartigay's mom right? I wonder how much of her mom's past she is aware of.

saras said...

Every 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

Hope said...

I 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.

Courtney said...

I 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!!!

I guess her mom couldn't tell her much since Mariska was 4 when she died. Maybe her father filled in the blanks.

Love 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.

Yacht girls have been around since the dawn of civilization.

The 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.

Just 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.

Cindy said...

Oh I didn't know she was only 4!
