TRIVIA BITS ... JAYNE MANSFIELD

TRIVIA BITS ...

JAYNE MANSFIELD

PINK PALACE

Jayne Mansfield decorated her "Pink Palace" by writing to 1,500 furniture and building suppliers and asking for free samples. She told the donors they could then brag that their goods were in her outlandish mansion. The pitch worked, and Jayne received over $150,000 worth of free merchandise.

  1. In the Jayne Mansfield biography written by Jayne's friend May Mann, it says that the pink palace had 40 bedrooms. The pink palace looks big, but not that big. It's a shame that it was demolished in 2002. Englebert Humperdinck was the last owner, that's funny because he once dated Jayne. Too bad our society could care less about preserving Hollywood history, I bet a Starbucks is there now.
