Recognition:
In February 1955, Mansfield was the Playmate of the Month in Playboy, a magazine in which she has subsequently appeared over 30 times.
Although Mansfield was unwilling to appear in the play, she received the Theatre World Award of 1956 for her performance in the Broadway production of George Axelrod's comedy Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?.
Mansfield won a Golden Globe in 1957 for New Star Of The Year - Actress
Mansfield won a Golden Laurel in 1959 for Top Female Musical Performance for her role in "The Sheriff of Fractured Jaw", a western spoof directed by Raoul Walsh., although the songs were performed by Connie Francis.
In 1963, Mansfield was voted one of the Top 10 Box Office Attractions by an organization of American theater owners for her performance in Promises! Promises!, a film banned in areas around the US.
Mansfield has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6328 Hollywood Boulevard.
The song "The Ballad of Jayne" by L.A. Guns was written about Mansfield.

Per Wikipedia:
Jayne Mansfield was an American actress working both on Broadway and in Hollywood.
One of the leading blonde sex symbols of the 1950s, like Marilyn Monroe, Mansfield was a Playmate of the Month in Playboy, in February 1955 (preceded by Bettie Page and succeeded by Marilyn Waltz). She appeared in the magazine several more times over the years. She won the Theatre World Award, Golden Globe and Golden Laurel. Mansfield starred in several popular Hollywood films that emphasized her platinum-blonde hair, dramatic hourglass figure and cleavage-revealing costumes.
Though Mansfield's career was short-lived, she had several box office successes. As the demand for blonde bombshells declined in the 1960s, Mansfield was relegated to low-budget melodramas and comedies, but remained a popular celebrity. In her later career she continued to attract large crowds in foreign countries, and in lucrative and successful nightclub tours. Mansfield died in an automobile accident at the age of 34.

I always liked "The Stepford Wives"!! Very creepy film! I always looked at the film as saying something about: "Losing Your Identity"...yes it's silly seeing the film today, but back than women's lib etc was a very strange concept.
I think the edning is very creepy, which leads to the ??? Did Joanna Eberhart (Katharine Ross) become a robot or not!?!
Joanna Eberhart: When you come back, there will be a woman with my name and my face, she'll cook and clean like crazy, but she won't take pictures and SHE WON'T BE ME!

As part of TCM's "The Essential's" :
"The Misfits" Sat, April 19, 2008 @ 5:00pm (PT) Arizona Time!
It's about the chance meeting and friendship of a depressed divorc?e, Roslyn Taber (Monroe), and Gay Langland (Gable), an aging ex-cowboy prone to gambling and surviving on mustang rustling. He sells the horses to slaughterhouses for the manufacture of dog food. Eli Wallach plays ****, Langland's pilot partner, and Montgomery Clift plays Perce Howland, a drifter rodeo rider.
I love this film! One of Monroe's & Gable's best films! Sad it would be there last film!
Monroe deserved an Oscar Nod For Best Actress for her role!
It's a film to just sit back and let it take a hold of you! It's both chilling in the drama that was going on behind the camera was somehow spillling onto the front of the camera. Parts of me as always looked at the characters on screen as people who are all standing still, having closed chapters in their lives that have left them bitter, dissatisfied, unfulfilled or even cheated. But in the same breath the characters start to realize they have a second chance at life, love and everything in between!
There is not a moment where somehow you feel changed yourself.
This is 1 of the best fims in the Marilyn Monroe Cannon!
Best Line:
Gay: You know, sometimes when a person don't know what to do, the best thing is to just stand still.

Kino** has announced a May 6th, 2008 release date for The Films of Morris Engel. It will feature a remastered version of "Little Fugitve" (1953) and two new to DVD titles: "Lovers and Lollipops" (1955) and "Weddings and Babies" (1958).
DISC 1:
Little Fugitive - Special Edition (1953)
Widely regarded as one of the most influential and enjoyable films of the American independent cinema, Little Fugitive is an utterly charming fable that poetically captures the joys and wonders of childhood.
When a seven-year-old boy (Richie Andrusco) is tricked into believing he killed his older brother, he gathers his meager possessions and flees to New York?s nether wonderland: Coney Island. Upon and beneath the crowded boardwalk, Joey experiences a day and night filled with adventures and mysteries, resulting in a film that is refreshingly spontaneous and thoroughly delightful.
Hailed by critics as a groundbreaking cinematic feat, Little Fugitive won the Silver Lion at the Venice Film Festival, played in nearly 5,000 theatres in the U.S. and is now recognized as a classic of American independent film.
Inducted in 1997 to the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress and the National Film Preservation Board
Remastered from a New High-Definition Transfer
BONUS FEATURES:
Feature-length Audio Commentary by Morris Engel
Two Documentary Films by Mary Engel:
Morris Engel: The Independent (2007, 28 min)
Ruth Orkin: Frames of Life (1995, 18 min.)
Theatrical Trailer
Image Gallery
DISC 2:
Lovers and Lollipops (1955, 82 min.)
A follow-up to the hugely successful Little Fugitive, Lovers and Lollipops is the enchanting tale of a seven-year-old girl?s reaction to her mom?s new boyfriend.
When an attractive widow begins seeing an old friend, her daughter Peggy (Cathy Dunn) feels their relationship threatened. Though not always intentionally, Peggy responds by thwarting the romance that is blossoming between the two adults.
Shot on location among the landmarks of New York City ? the Central Park Zoo, Macy?s Toy Department, the Statue of Liberty and Chinatown ? Lovers and Lollipops is a lyrical ode to the resilience of love and the charms of youth.
Weddings and Babies (1958, 81 min.)
A work of artistic finesse and great emotional candor, Morris Engel?s Weddings and Babies is a bittersweet tale of love, hope and sacrifice, staged to perfection amid the sidewalks and storefront apartments of New York?s Little Italy.
Viveca Lindfors stars as Bea, a Swedish-born woman who yearns to begin a family with her photographer boyfriend Al. But the two things to which Al has devoted his career ? weddings and babies ? are the very things he cannot make room for in his life. The unexpected appearance of Al?s aging mother, evicted from a boarding house, only intensifies his familial confusion, and Bea must decide whether to wait for Al or seek happiness elsewhere.
With its verite visual style and naturalistic performances (owing to Engel?s background as a photojournalist in New York City), Weddings and Babies bore a profound influence on the independent cinema of the 1960?s.

Criterion has announced re-issues with a July 22nd, 2008 release date for two films that were released on DVD exactly 10 years ago. "Vampyr" (1932) and "High and Low" (1963) will each have new, restored high-definition transfers with improved English subtitles.
Vampyr (1932):
With "Vampyr", Danish filmmaker Carl Theodor Dreyer's brilliance at achieving mesmerizing atmosphere and austere, profoundly unsettling imagery (as in The Passion of Joan of Arc and Day of Wrath) was for once applied to the horror genre. Yet the result?concerning an occult student assailed by various supernatural haunts and local evildoers at an inn outside Paris?is nearly unclassifiable, a host of stunning camera and editing tricks and densely layered sounds creating a mood of dreamlike terror. With its roiling fogs, ominous scythes, and foreboding echoes, Vampyr is one of cinema's great nightmares.
NOTE: Vampyr is presented in its original aspect ratio of 1.19:1, a European format that is narrower than a 1.33:1 image. The black bars along the side of the screen, called "pillarboxing," are normal for this format, and will be even more pronounced on widescreen televisions.
BONUS FEATURES:
Audio commentary featuring film scholar Tony Rayns
Carl Th. Dreyer (1966), a documentary by J?rgen Roos chronicling Dreyer's career
Visual essay by scholar Casper Tybjerg on Dreyer's influences in creating Vampyr
A 1958 radio broadcast of Dreyer reading an essay about filmmaking
PLUS: A booklet featuring new essays by Mark Le Fanu and Kim Newman, Martin Koerber on the restoration, and an archival interview with producer and star Nicolas de Gunzburg, as well as a book featuring Dreyer and Christen Jul's original screenplay and Sheridan Le Fanu 1871 story "Carmilla," a source for the film
High and Low (1963)
Toshiro Mifune is unforgettable as Kingo Gondo, a wealthy industrialist whose family becomes the target of a cold-blooded kidnapper in Akira Kurosawa?s highly influential domestic drama and police procedural High and Low (Tengoko to jigoku). Adapting Ed McBain's detective novel King's Ransom, Kurosawa moves effortlessly from compelling race-against-time thriller to exacting social commentary, creating a diabolical treatise on class and contemporary Japanese society. Criterion is proud to present High and Low in this new high-definition digital transfer.
NOTE: This release has a new, restored high-definition digital transfer, with newly restored original four-track surround sound. As well as a new and improved English subtitle translation.
BONUS FEATURES:
New audio commentary by Akira Kurosawa scholar Stephen Prince
A 37-minute documentary on the making of High and Low, created as part of the Toho Masterworks series Akira Kurosawa: It Is Wonderful to Create
Rare archival interview with Toshiro Mifune
New video interview with actor Tsutomu Yamazaki, who plays the kidnapper
Theatrical trailers from Japan and the U.S.
PLUS: A booklet featuring a new essay by critic Geoffrey O?Brien and a reprinted essay by Japanese film scholar Donald Richie

Per LAT....(More info)...April 17, 2008
Hazel Court, 82; 'scream queen' in horror films in 1950s and '60s
Hazel Court, an English beauty who co-starred with the likes of Boris Karloff and Vincent Price in popular horror movies in the 1950s and '60s, has died. She was 82.
Court died Tuesday at her home near Lake Tahoe from a heart attack, her daughter, Sally Walsh, said WednesdayAlthough she had a substantial acting career both in England and on American television, Court was perhaps best known for her work in such films as 1963's "The Raven." She co-starred with Price, Karloff and Peter Lorre in the Roger Corman take on the classic Edgar Allen Poe poem.
Corman directed her in five movies. Like other "scream queens" of the era, Court's roles often relied on her cleavage and her ability to shriek in fear and die horrible deaths.
"The Premature Burial," "The Masque of the Red Death," "The Curse of Frankenstein" and "Devil Girl From Mars" helped propel her to cult status and brought her fan mail even in her later years.
The daughter of a professional cricket player, Court was born Feb. 10, 1926, in the English town of Sutton Coldfield.
As a teenager, she was appearing in stage productions when she was spotted and signed by the J. Arthur Rank Organisation, which owned movie studios and theaters. Court got her first movie bit part by the time she was 18 and went on to become a popular actress and a **** girl.
"She was one of the great beauties of all time," Walsh said. "She was a redhead with really green eyes and almost . . . the perfect face. She was on the cover of almost every magazine."
Court appeared in some of the low-budget Hammer Film Productions horror movies and co-starred with Patrick O'Neal in the 1957 British TV comedy series "Dick and the Duchess." In the late 1950s, she came to the United States to work on TV's "Alfred Hitchcock Presents."
Besides acting, Court was a commissioned sculptor and painter whose works appeared in public galleries
Sally Walsh, who lives in Los Angeles, said Court is survived by another daughter, Courtney Taylor of Ojai; a son, Jonathan Taylor of Reno; and stepdaughters Anne Taylor Fleming of Los Angeles and Avery Taylor of San Francisco.
Court had finished an autobiography, "Hazel Court - Horror Queen," which will be published in Britain, Sally Walsh said.
