Technical rendition of Atlantis docked to the Kristall module
of the Russian Mir Space Station.
On June 29, 1995 the shuttle Atlantis docked with the Mir station
for the first time. This also marked the first in orbit docking of a
NASA spacecraft since the joint Apollo-Soyuz mission of July,
1975.
NASA’s Shuttle-Mir program continued for 11 missions and was
a crucial step towards the construction of the International Space
Station now in orbit.
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.
