She was a big star in the 1950s and early 1960s, a time when black and white movies were still popular.

Jayne's journey to stardom really took off when she played a famous actress named Rita Marlowe in a play called 'Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?'. She was so good that she got to play Rita again in a movie! She also starred in fun movies like 'The Girl Can't Help It,' which was a musical comedy.
