Jayne Mansfield explains how her career began on England’s BBC television in 1960. Though Jayne had an IQ of 163 and could speak five languages and play the piano, violin and viola with aptitude, she was never taken seriously by Hollywood and became typecast in the persona of a busty “dumb blonde”. She once remarked in frustration: “No one cares about 163.
They’re more interested in 40–21–35.”
