1967: Jayne Mansfield remembered

Celebrated actress Jayne Mansfield was killed instantly on June
29, 1967, when the car in which she is riding struck the rear of a
trailer truck on U.S. Route 90 east of New Orleans, Louisiana.

Mansfield had been on her way to New Orleans from Biloxi,
Mississippi, where she had been performing at a local nightclub;
she had a television appearance scheduled the following day.

Ronald B. Harrison, a driver for the Gus Stevens Dinner Club, was
driving Mansfield and her lawyer and companion, Samuel S. Brody,
along with three of Mansfield’s children with her ex-husband Mickey Hargitay, in Stevens’ 1966 Buick Electra.

On a dark stretch of road, just as the truck was approaching a
machine emitting a thick white fog used to spray mosquitoes
(which may have obscured it from Harrison’s view), the Electra
hit the trailer-truck from behind.

Mansfield, Harrison and Brody were all killed in the accident. Eight-
year-old Mickey, six-year-old Zoltan and three-year-old Marie, or
Mariska, had apparently been sleeping on the rear seat; they were
injured but survived.
