[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 215417, member: 5079"] I recall reading the opinion that Jayne's career could only have occurred in the mid-50s. Any earlier, she would have been too much; any later, not enough. Only in the high 50s could big boobs and a coy, giddy vulgarity be sufficient for fame. Whether Jayne could have amounted to more is hard to say. I've only seen THE GIRL CAN'T HELP IT and WILL SUCCESS SPOIL ROCK HUNTER? and neither shows (or requires) any particular talent; she's fun in them rather than funny. She really boxed herself in with that exaggerated image; more of a novelty than a star. If Hollywood hadn't lost interest in Jayne so quickly, I have no idea what other movies she could made. I'm inclined to indulge in mental recasting, but I can't think of a single film role in the late 50s that she would have been suitable for. [/QUOTE]
