During the 1950s, Jayne Mansfield captured the imaginations of millions with her stunning looks, gravity-defying figure, and bubbly personality. But her wild ride came to a terrible end in 1967. This is the tragic real-life story of Jayne Mansfield.

Born Vera Jayne Palmer in 1933 in Bryn Mawr Pennsylvania, to parents Herbert William and Vera Jeffrey Palmer, Jayne Mansfield always knew she wanted to be famous. Teenage Jayne plastered her walls with photos of movie idols and dreamed of stardom. In 1936, a big part of Jayne's world came crashing down when her beloved father died suddenly of a heart attack. Herbert Palmer's passing left a void in Jayne's life. As Raymond Strait, author of The Tragic Secret Life of Jayne Mansfield, explained to Biography:

"[Jayne] grew up always looking for a father and looking to men for a father image [...] and she never found it."

At 16, Vera Jayne Palmer, not yet out of high school, eloped with 20-year-old Paul Mansfield. Jayne kept the marriage under wraps and continued to attend high school and live with her mother and stepfather. However, when Jayne became pregnant, the secret came out. In recalling her mother's reaction to her pregnancy, Janye had this to say to her friend and biographer, May Mann:

"Momma said I had ruined my life and her life [...] Then she relented and bought me a pretty white wedding dress and we had a wedding of sorts. But I always remembered her telling me never to expect help from her."

On November 9, 1950, Jayne and Paul Mansfield welcomed daughter Jayne Marie into the world. However, motherhood would do nothing to diminish Jayne's ambition.
