Mansfield Biography - Part Seven
Living the Lifestyle
Jayne was having
the time of her life, her career was going well, she was
having great success. The only thing she didn't have was
a husband and a fabulous place to live. Then Mickey surprised
her with a 10 carat diamond ring. On January 13, 1958 was
the beginning of Jayne and Mickey's fairy tale marriage
which would only last about 6 years. Fox, first unsupportive
of their union, would be convinced by Jayne of their love,
and helped make her wedding day a true event. Her dress
was a tight pink lace bell bottomed dress fashioned at Fox,
and attendance was limited to 100 "close friends". These
close friends were mostly reporters, photographers and press
agents. After a Miami honeymoon, Jayne and Mickey reported
to a six week engagement at the Las Vegas Tropicana.
Meanwhile, back
in Hollywood, they also began to create Jayne's fantasy
home. A mansion on Sunset Boulevard which would be renamed
The Pink Palace. The Pink Palace was a spectacle,
and gave Jayne her chance to live out her girlhood fantasies
and free reign to her outlandish image of how a movie star
ought to live. Features of the Pink Palace included:
- A heart shaped swimming
pool that said "I Love You Jaynie" on the bottom in
two foot high gold mosaic tiles.
- Eight bedrooms.
- 13 baths.
- A grand scaled Pink Mink
living room.
- Heart shaped bed and fireplace.
- A Pink Cadillac (given
to her by Mickey after the birth of their son Miklos).
- A Pink Jaguar.
- An Eldorado Cadillac.
- A closet full of minks
(white,pink and black).
- Twice weekly baths in
Pink Champagne.
The home was
later owned by Ringo Star, Cass Elliot of the Mama's and
the Papa's and then by Englebert Humperdinck. The Pink
Palace was unceremoniously
razed in November 2002.
During this
period MGM wooed her with a Pink Jaguar, a Pink Cadillac,
Pink rhinestone phones and a three year supply of Pink
champagne to bathe in. She still remained under contract
to Fox.
