Giving A Fellow Hollywood Star The Side-Eye

There’s nothing new about Hollywood rivals. Here’s a photo of Sophia Loren next to Jayne Mansfield’s bust, with her hat perched on top of it. They’d crashed a party, as it turned out! According to Paramount’s records, the photo was taken at a party to celebrate the Italian actor’s arrival in the United States. It happened in Beverly Hills in 1957. Clifton Webb’s assets were being hurled at the celebrant sitting next to him. This was probably a publicity stunt for Jayne Mansfield rather than Loren. Loren admitted that she couldn’t help but keep her gaze fixed on Mansfield. Additionally, she has refused to sign copies of this photograph in the past.

Entering The Jaws Of Death Without A Clue

Soldiers from Canada, England, and the United States turned the tide of the war by storming the beaches of Normandy. Many enlistees were aware that once they entered battle, they might not be able to return home. As a sergeant, Tom Jensen served with the 626th Engineer Light Equipment Co. According to him, the other soldiers didn’t know where they were going until they arrived, according to the Chicago Tribune. The vet said, “They didn’t tell us anything we didn’t need to know. Heck, some of the guys on our ship thought we were headed to Japan, not Normandy. Just months earlier, we were either in high school or working odd jobs. We weren’t soldiers, at least not yet.”
