12. Jayne Mansfield

Everyone remembers Marylin Monroe and deservedly so, do not get us wrong. However, back in the 50s and the 60s, there was another buxom blonde who was just as famous – the Working Man’s Monroe as she was also known – Jayne Mansfield.

She was an actress, although many people never saw any of her movies, and she was more famous as a sex symbol and someone whose life was constantly in the public eye. She was also the first actress to have a nude scene in a major movie.

Mansfield was in the car with driver Ronnie Harrison, her lover Sam Brody and her three children when their Buick collided with a tractor trailer. The children survived while all three adults lost their lives. There is a legend that Jayne was decapitated, which was repeatedly denied by official sources.
