TDW 1847 - The Tragic End of Jayne Mansfield

0:04 welcome everyone Adam the

0:04 fisherman in the fridge it's my second

0:07 channel daily Vlog channel

0:09 it's the daily woo little throwback for

0:13 you today's subject matter is going to

0:15 be slightly on the maob side but fret

0:18 not there is history to be learned urban

0:21 legends to confirm or maybe even debunk

0:25 and it's a nice little throwback to a

0:26 vlog I did back in the daily woo 16 01

0:30 because on that very day I was in New

0:32 Orleans Louisiana a little Community

0:34 called Sidell down a long and Lonesome

0:37 Road looking for the final moments where

0:40 Jane Mansfield who in the 1950s and 60s

0:44 in Hollywood rivaled even Marilyn Monroe

0:47 for the biggest and most popular sex

0:50 symbol that's where she perished right

0:53 along that stretch of road basically out

0:55 here in the middle of nowhere

0:58 Louisiana you can see hardly anyone is

1:01 driving down this road at the moment I

1:04 found the memorial and now I'm going to

1:06 find the car that was on that spot that

1:10 is now

1:11 located here in Los Angeles it was just

1:14 recently acquired by the dearly departed

1:16 tours and Museum and I can now see it

1:21 with my own eyes and on a side note they

1:24 are selling off their hearse that has

1:26 been used multiple times over the years

1:28 to do all the Departed tours they have

1:31 moved into this new building and to help

1:33 fund the expansion and the storage of

1:37 Jane Mansfield's Car they moved off

1:39 Sunset and they're now on Santa Monica

1:41 Boulevard I wonder if the asking price

1:43 includes this guy don't look in his eyes

1:47 it's very hip don't look in his eyes

1:50 there it

1:52 is I am now inside the

1:55 museum that's the car the three adults

1:58 in the front seat including Jane all

2:01 died on contact the children in the back

2:07 survived wow that

2:10 is it's quite a

2:18 wreck it hit the front of a truck and

2:18 since then 18 wheelers are required to

2:21 have the bar that comes down because the

2:24 front of the hood in the engine went up

2:27 underneath the back of the truck

2:31 and now that bar is referred to on a

2:33 truck as the Mansfield bar an

2:37 interesting story my dad was a truck

2:38 driver for a long time and when I went

2:41 to the spot in Louisiana I called him

2:43 and told him about it and he did not

2:45 realize the two were

2:48 connected pretty interesting how Society

2:51 adopts a term that is based on something

2:54 factual like

2:57 this this is incredible

3:36 it is an unusual feeling to know that I

3:36 have stood in that spot you see the

3:40 truck in front of the car and here's

3:42 some of the newspaper articles they also

3:44 have the gates to Jane's Mansion there's

3:48 a cardboard cut out of her there but

3:51 this is the actual rod iron gates

3:55 there's a photo here of her walking out

3:58 of it so very cool stuff very cool stuff

4:02 in here oh yeah a splashes of blood

4:05 still there and that is uh her dog there

4:09 were four Chihuahua in the car with her

4:11 um the you know two of the people in

4:13 front might have lived so nobody was

4:15 wearing their their seat Bel and you can

4:17 see how Jane was sitting here and it

4:18 sheared this is the corner of the truck

4:21 right here

4:24 wow that is

4:26 incredible and the children in the back

4:28 all survived three kids I went to uh

4:30 three in the front three in the front

4:32 adults three in the back kids and boom

4:34 right

4:42 there can't even imagine no and you know

4:42 what the guy that was driving the truck

4:43 felt the impact and he got out of the

4:46 car and by the time he stopped the car

4:48 was about uh 20 yards behind him and

4:53 uh and uh all he heard was a kid

4:56 screaming and he had to get Jane out of

4:58 the car she would have been been sitting

5:00 right where this bouquet of purple

5:01 flowers are and the guy in the middle

5:03 his head hit right there you can see

5:05 where it cracked and the driver wow if

5:09 you look at those photos which I'm not

5:10 going to show the photos in my in my

5:11 Vlog cuz they're pretty graphic but his

5:13 head was pretty much embedded right

5:15 there the headlights are still

5:16 on not just the topic at hand but there

5:20 is also a wide variety of other

5:22 artifacts of the a little bit more

5:25 slightly disturbing in nature who that

5:29 speak get disturbing that guy just

5:31 shouted out from his car normally they

5:33 do not allow filming inside if I talked

5:36 to Scott Michaels the owner and he

5:38 showed me around he let me go up close

5:40 to the car and get some closeup shots I

5:43 didn't show the other things inside out

5:44 of respect for the no

5:46 filming but he did allow me to take

5:49 pictures and little video clips of the

5:51 car which is what I came here for so

5:53 check it out the dearly departed tour

5:56 and Museum and only a few hundred 100

5:59 yards away from where I just was is the

6:03 Hollywood Forever Cemetery which is

6:05 another part another tie in to the story

6:08 because this is where the rumored

6:10 decapitated head of Miss Mansfield was

6:14 laid to rest supposedly through these

6:18 Gates even though she died in

6:20 Louisiana her body is buried in

6:23 Pennsylvania where she was born but they

6:25 say her

6:27 skull is out here

6:30 amongst these grounds spoiler alert

6:32 however it is simply not true 3 weeks

6:35 ago give or take a day marked the 50th

6:39 anniversary of that tragic event and the

6:42 crime photos kind of depicted where some

6:45 people were inclined to think that her

6:47 wig was actually her head and then the

6:51 legend grew the myths and the stories

6:54 completely got blown out of proportion

6:57 and some said that they buried the head

7:01 out

7:02 here which in reality her

7:05 head was still attached to her body and

7:08 I know this because some of the graphic

7:10 photos I saw back at the

7:12 Museum tell the truth I will not be

7:14 showing I will not be inserting them in

7:16 this video you can probably look them up

7:18 if if you so choose but in those photos

7:22 there was just a little a little damage

7:25 up there not not

7:28 here

7:30 pretty pretty disturbing but I saw the

7:33 evidence myself now that being said the

7:36 question must be

7:39 asked what lies

7:43 here oh check out the butterfly there

7:45 and this says

7:49 cath which has a different meaning than

7:52 an actual grave it's a memorial of

7:56 sorts there's a photo of Jane

8:05 but no part of her body as far as I know

8:05 is laid to rest

8:08 here that's in

8:16 Pennsylvania interesting

8:16 right why would they put this

8:24 here you don't normally see that it's

8:24 not something you normally see in a

8:26 cemetery a placard or a memorial of

8:29 someone who either their n or their

8:33 ashes or a casket is not

8:37 directly around their name

8:39 also she was born in

8:42 1933 not

8:45 1938 The Story Goes The Fan Club of Miss

8:50 Mansfield placed this

8:52 here and they got the date incorrect as

8:55 you exit the gates there's a pretty good

8:58 view

8:59 of that iconic

9:02 sign right up there it's interesting how

9:06 things that I've done in the past and

9:09 certain subjects that I've researched

9:11 and covered it's like a weird six degree

9:14 of

9:16 separation to Los Angeles and Hollywood

9:18 especially when it comes to TV and

9:20 movies and starlets and

9:24 stars you should

9:26 have never trusted har they were I'll

9:30 see you all tomorrow

9:33 Vlog over
