[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 443606, member: 7"] "If Marilyn Monroe was the Broadway of the blonde bombshells, then Jayne Mansfield was the roadshow." Jayne was a cheaper, second-tier, working man alternative to Marilyn. And she ended up embracing that, but Jayne has her own fans and her own place in celebrity popular culture. Mamie, on the other hand, never made it out of the B-movie realm. And that's fine. I like B-movies from the 1950s (I've already mentioned how I like Cleo Moore and Beverly Michaels), but Mamie made crummy movies. The ones I've seen are junk. I've tried to like her movies, but I just don't. As we've said, Mamie pulled herself out of obscurity in the 1980s, her career long over, her image long forgotten. But she attached herself to Marilyn, to Jayne, to the 1950s decade of glamour and nostalgia. She even tried to claim the "Queen of the B-Movie Bad Girls" title movie fans bestowed on Cleo Moore.
