Jayne Mansfield's Pink Palace (L.A./ California)



In November 1957 Jayne bought a 40-room Mediterranean-style mansion and had it 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. Her husband built a heart-shaped swimming pool. After 1967 other owners included: Rita Greenland, Ringo Starr, Mamma Cass Elliot, and Engelbert Humperdink. The house was then sold to developers and demolished in 2002.

    1. That was my first thought too. Still amazing though. Too bad it was torn down.

  2. So cool! It's like a life-sized Barbie Dream House! What a shame it got demolished so we can't tour this palace of pink.

  3. I loved seeing these photos, every one of them a tiny bubble of time captured. I can't bear that this house is gone and is a car park now :( Thank you for sharing, hugs x
