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 of talent. But Jayne was too busy to fan that flame...

The characters are all homosexuals and junkies, and they spend most of their screen time lying around and trying to think of something...

Representative Gallagher goes so far as to predict that private homes will have to take the same precautions that embassies are forced to take now: "The essential ingredients of life will be carried on in soundproof, peep-proof, prefabricated rooms where, hopefully, no one will be able to spy, but where life won't be worth living...
