Endowed with a pretty, pouty face and an astounding (40-18-36) figure, Jayne was single-mindedly intent on becoming a "Hollywood personality," and in a way she succeeded-by flooding the papers with peep-show photos and an incredible series of antic marriages, mishaps and escapades. In her role as the dazzlingly dumb blonde in Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?, critics thought they saw a spark...
