Synopsis

On June 29, 1967, Jayne Mansfield died at the age of 34 when her blue Buick Electra collided with and was crushed under a semi-trailer truck. Known for her voluptuous figure and baby-doll face, the Hollywood actress was one of the most photographed stars of her time. In portraying Mansfield, the film offers a glimpse into the Hollywood dream factory through the lens of a casting call. Like Jayne herself, who went through countless auditions, the narrative reflects her journey and the compromises she made to achieve stardom.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 14

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
