On February 6, 2025, Mamie Van Doren turned 94-years-old --- even though she would probably tell you she's just 92 because she claims 1933 instead of 1931 as her birth year.
One wonders, why hasn't there been some HBO or some other TV documentary done on Mamie? A&E has never even profiled her for a biography, or at least not to my knowledge.
Why is that? Is it because of low profile in the realm of Hollywood? Has Mamie no personal connections to have a documentary of her life done?
Honestly, while I haven't much fandom for Mamie anymore, I'd still like to see a good, well-produced documentary on one of Hollywood's classic blonde bombshells.
But would such a documentary contain too many false hoods on Mamie's behalf? We've discussed here before that she's wiggled her way into several areas of Marilyn and Jayne's life that can be debunked by quick Google searches.

So, apparently, Mamie is now saying she knew Marilyn "before she was Marilyn Monroe". She says, "To me, she'll always be Norma Jeane."

Mamie published her autobiography, "Playing the Field", nearly forty years ago. Curious that she left out so many salacious or eventful details in her last "tell all" that would justify another memoir.
Her first book is available for free on the Internet Archive. I have no interest in re-reading it, but I couldn't remember if the book had a snapshot of Mamie with Marilyn or Jayne. Jayne, of course; no photos of Marilyn and Mamie because I doubt they were ever in the same room.
