how did jayne mansfield die
Jayne Mansfield's Head. ''Her head was attached as much as mine is,'' says Jim Roberts, gently dismissing a longstanding myth about Jayne Mansfield's grisly demise. The accepted version (now playing in the movie ''Crash'') has it that Mansfield was beheaded when she died in a car accident just outside of New Orleans on June 29, 1967. Roberts says the beheading part is hooey, and he should know -- he was her undertaker. ''People always figured wrong about Jayne,'' he laments.
