Jayne Mansfield: Hollywood’s Stunner and America’s First Bombshell

Ahhh! Naked Woman!

The clever Mansfield was the definition of “wardrobe malfunction.” Her (nip) slip-ups always happened at the perfect time for cameras to snap pictures. The most infamous instance took place in 1955 when Mansfield went to a pool party wearing a very revealing red bikini. As soon as she jumped into the pool, her top predictably fell off.

Mansfield’s scandal was just getting started after filming Promises…Promises! In an attempt to promote the seductive film, she stripped again, this time for Playboy magazine. As you can imagine, the spread came with its share of consequences. The public was outraged; it was so explicit that Hugh Hefner was even arrested (for the first and only time).
