[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 440966, member: 7"] Mamie (like Terry Moore) drastically overstates her importance and popularity during the 1950s. She has placed herself into so many situations involving Marilyn and Jayne, all accusations that can be debunked with a quick online search. There is actual photographic evidence of Mamie with Jayne (just as you've posted above), and the two even worked together. If memory serves, they may have done some publicity-type stuff together, or maybe even one of those old-timey variety shows. They worked together in 1966 (less than a year before Jayne died) on LAS VEGAS HILLBILLYS, a micro-budget musical comedy that gave more screen time to country singers than Mamie and Jayne. As the story goes, though, Jayne didn't want to be shown on-camera with "the drive-in's answer to Marilyn Monroe", and refused to appear on-screen with Mamie. The two do share one scene, but you clearly see the links the camera crew went not to show them on screen at the same time. One biographer even says that the scenes were shot entirely separate of one another and then edited together in post-production. In saying that, I'm sure Mamie had at least a working relationship with Jayne, but Jayne apparently didn't hold a high opinion of Mamie. That doesn't stop Mamie for saying she gave Jayne career advice or that she unknowingly contributed to Jayne's death in June 1967 by asking her to swap singing engagements with her at a little supper club in Mississippi.
