Mansfield did win a Golden Globe for the 1957 hit The Girl Can’t Help It. Other than that, her films didn’t garner a whole lot of critical acclaim. Instead, Mansfield was better known for her pictures in a way that makes it seem like she was a celebrity simply for being a celebrity. In just nine months, Mansfield’s face appeared in 2,500 newspapers. She also stripped down for various nude shoots in Playboy throughout the 1950s.
Mansfield’s career and look rivaled Marilyn Monroe to the point that Monroe wished she could sue the actress for copying her look. Both ended up suffering equally tragic fates.
