Too Hot To Handle

An only child, actress, singer, nightclub entertainer
Jayne Mansfield.
Her movie Too Hot to Handle made sense to the people who knew her.
A tomato, lightning, a bonfire, married and divorce numerous times.
She loved her five children and kept her Playboy playmate figure.
Dying in a car crash in New Orleans at the young age of thirty-four.
She lived as if she knew she was running out of time.

I remember her. Her daughter plays on that long-time program, Law and Order. She resembles her mother.

I think she looks so much like her mother! It is sweet.

Live hard, die hard - heard that somewhere. It's hard to understand why some are taken earlier than others. Linda
