Jayne Mansfield – Concerto No. 6 in A Minor
Readers!
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

Wow! I had previously thought her talents were purely visual!
Her death was the driving force behind the requirement of ‘under rider’ bars on the rear of semi-truck trailers. Sometimes still known as ‘Mansfield bars’.

Look up her death, as Blair alludes it was a fairly gruesome car-accident.
She was also the mother of Mariska Hargitay (from Law and Order) who was in the back seat with her siblings during the crash.
Don’t you JUST love “Star Trek” types of girls? A 10.5 on the “scale’ and can jam like Wagner? I really miss that. Mine worked at the CBS facility in Terre Haute. My “side” gig every weekend was music.
