[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 196041, member: 7"] [FONT=Trebuchet MS]In 1966, Jayne fell into a relationship with Sam Brody, a lawyer that helped her get her divorce from her third husband, theatre director Matt Cimber. Jayne and Sam began a relationship, one of which included a lot drug, alcohol, and physical abuse. Mansfield's oldest daughter, Jayne Marie, made the front page of the news when she came forth with allegations that Sam had physically assaulted her. The incident put a strain on the mother-daughter relationship, that would unfortunately not recover before Jayne's tragic demise. Jayne's relationship was a certainly a stormy one from multiple angles. Several close friends and relatives of Jayne recollect many instances where Sam was physically abusive to her. Jayne and Sam went on drinking binges together, which, coupled with Jayne's addiction to prescription pills, worsened her mood swings and strained the relationships she had once held dear. Not helping matters was her movie career being almost non-existent, as film offers had all but dried up. What little film work she obtained consisted of small, exploitation-type parts that capitalized on her physical attributes and notoriety, rather than on any dramatic prowess. These films, a prime example being [I]The Fat Spy[/I], were bombs at the box office, and have since been labeled as some of the worst pictures within American cinema. Mansfield's destructive relationship with Brody fueled the rapid down-turning of her career in the late 1960s.

Either way, the duo stayed rather faithful to the other (as faithful as a union such as this one can be) until their death in 1967.
