Vera Jeffrey's father Elmer E Palmer was from the largely Cornish area of Pen Argyl Pennsylvania where he was involved with the slate industry. They moved to Los Angeles in 1954 where Jayne studied Theater Arts at UCLA during the summer and returned to Texas to spend the fall quarter at Southern Methodist University. At the age of 12 Jayne Mansfield also took lessons in ballroom dance.

Mansfield was 20th Century Fox's alternative Marilyn Monroe and came to be known as the Working Man's Monroe. Mansfield and Cimber had a son. Some of the last attempts that Hollywood took to publicize her were in The George Raft Story (1961) and It Happened in Athens (1962).
