This is a classic photo from back in the day. Most of you would have heard of Sophia Loren - but Jane Mansfield never seemed to quite make it into the immortality ranks. Forever doomed to be a B lister - she couldn’t ever break out of the blonde bombshell image she so very carefully crafted for herself.
What she did have though - was enormous breasts. Remember - this is pre-plastic surgery days. So there was nothing the other women could do about it if you… er… outranked them. Perhaps this sentiment is what is being expressed by Sophia Loren.
On the other hand - Mansfield was the original celebrity cow. Britney Spears and Paris Hilton didn’t come up with the idea to create publicity from their rude bits. Mansfield had wardrobe malfunctions all over the place - so much so that the media turned on her and began to represent her quite negatively. History repeats. Loren is perhaps just not impressed with such a shameful display as that represented in this photo.

I’m a 27 year old female and had never heard of her…actually it seems I’ve heard the name, but like background music, it wasn’t in my face. I was just watching TV Land and they mentioned her on a commercial saying: “Jane Mansfield…decapitated??” So I googled her and am now getting a taste of her legacy. By the way, I LOVE Sofia, but HATE that salty look look she’s giving Jane.
I read in an interview with Sophia Loren that she was fearful of Jane Mansfiels brests popping out, not that she was envious or disgusted.
