[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 403902, member: 7"] Time stamp: 2:45 -- 13:37 Air date: April 19, 1962 Jayne (on her 29th birthday) and Mickey Hargitay appear on an episode of TELL IT TO GROUCHO, a gimmicky game show-talk show-type thing that I'm sure I've heard of before. Jayne's early-60s bouffant is actually quite flattering to her here, where in some pictures and TV appearances it was not. Jayne and Mickey come to tell Groucho about their home, their children, and their almost zoo-level amount of animals. The money the two win from a little game they play with Groucho was donated to the American Cancer Society. There are a few references made towards Jayne's figure, an attribute cemented into her public image well before 1962. Groucho makes a joke about having enough room to stand in Jayne's presence (probably a tiny nod to their bit together at the end of 1957's WILL SUCCESS SPOIL ROCK HUNTER?). Groucho asks Mickey his measurements, and based on his reply, Groucho responds, "Who do you think you are, Jayne Mansfield?" There is a nod mentioned towards the February 1962 tragedy Jayne and Micky experienced down in the Bahamas, I believe. The boat the two were on capsized and for like two days, Jayne and Mickey were feared for death. Some dismissed the incident as a publicity stunt, while some, such as TV's Hy Gardner, came to their defense. On TELL IT TO GROUCHO, Marx makes a joke about the incident, saying, "Jayne, I knew you wouldn't drown," an obvious innuendo to her breasts saving her like a life jacket. Anyway, here you are for you enjoyment. [MEDIA=youtube]JUgZJ5GBSDo[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
