. . . in the scene with Terry Thomas: who was she? I only tuned it in (it was on the Movies! network recently) when the movie was almost over and didn't get her character's name. At first I thought she was Jayne Mansfield, and thought it odd Ms. Mansfield would have taken a small, uncredited role.
shareYou are correct, the actress was Jayne Mansfield. This film is composed of short vignettes with many name stars in short, but not small, roles.
shareThanks, obo-1. A few days ago the Movies! network re-ran the movie, and this time I caught the opening credits, where the many guest stars who appeared in the short vignettes are listed as "technical advisors."
share___By 1967 Jayne Mansfield was all but forgotten. Why do you think she was playing those run down strip clubs in the south? Not because she was wanted in Hollywood films. People today think she was a competitor of Marilyn Monroe, trust me, she never came into focus as anything close to Marilyn. And, today Marilyn is still a star,no one remembers Jayne, except as the decapitated blonde.
