Jayne Mansfield

Mansfield and Mickey Hargitay, 1958-1964? (It's unclear if a 1963 divorce in Juarez was recognized in the U.S.) She married Matt (Thomas Vitale Ottaviano) Cimber in 1964 and filed for divorce in 1966. The final decree was pending when Mansfield died in a 1967 car crash outside New Orleans, along with attorney Sam Brody and driver Ronnie Harrison. Mickey Jr., Mariska and Zoltan Hargitay (who had been mauled by a lion at Jungleland) survived the crash. She was married to Paul Mansfield from 1950 to 1957.
