Born Joan Lucille Olander in a small South Dakota town, Mamie Van Doren rose to Blonde Bombshell status in Hollywood when she signed with Universal Pictures in 1953, right on the heels of Marilyn Monroe. This comprehensive biography explores Van Dorens early life and career, spanning from her start as a bit player in Howard Hughes Jet Pilot to her significant role as the last surviving member of Hollywoods infamous Three Ms: Mamie Van Doren, Marilyn Monroe, and Jayne Mansfield. A complete filmography lists Van Dorens roles in film and television. Entries include a plot synopsis, cast and crew details, and in many instances recent and contemporary reviews.

This must be the secret that Mamie told us she has on her website dreambook! Cool!

Hopefully, I didn't spoil her surprise but the information is already on the publisher's website. That's why I was asking about the upcoming Jayne Mansfield book because I can't find a thing about it on the net.

You won't yet because the contract was just signed like two days ago. The only information about the book has been on my Jayne website and what I've posted here. However it is registered with the Library Of Congress.
