Jayne Mansfield's Pink Palace
Jayne Mansfield's Pink Palace was a mansion built by the actress as a "pink landmark".
==History==
In November 1957, shortly before her marriage to Mickey Hargitay, Mansfield bought a 40-room Mediterranean-style mansion formerly owned by Rudy Vallée at 10100 Sunset Boulevard in Holmby Hills, Los Angeles.〔Marc Wanamaker, ''Westwood'', Arcadia Publishing, 2010 , p. 55 ()〕 Much of the investment to buy the house came from the $81,340 ($ in dollars) she inherited from her maternal grandfather Elmer Palmer.〔Michael Mundy, "(Limit: The Game is Back with Warring Realtors )", ''Los Angeles Magazine'', January 1998〕 Mansfield had the house painted pink, with cupids surrounded by pink fluorescent lights, pink furs in the bathrooms, a pink heart-shaped bathtub, and a fountain spurting pink champagne, and then dubbed it the "Pink Palace". Hargitay, a plumber and carpenter before getting into bodybuilding, built a pink heart-shaped swimming pool. Mansfield decorated the Pink Palace by writing to furniture and building suppliers requesting free samples. She received over $150,000 ($ in dollars) in free merchandise, paying only $76,000 ($ in dollars) for the mansion itself〔(The Pink Palace )〕 It was still a large sum, when the average cost of a house at the time was under $7,500 ($ in dollars).〔(Census of Housing ), U.S. Census Bureau.〕
The ''Pink Palace'' was sold and its subsequent owners have included Ringo Starr, Cass Elliot and Engelbert Humperdinck.〔(Web bio ) from fansite.〕 In 2002, Humperdinck sold it to developers, and the house was demolished in November of that year.
