Then the cult photo was taken in which the most beautiful woman of that time, Sophia Loren, looks at Jane Mansfield's wide neckline. So what exactly was going through her head at that moment?
"Paramount organized a party in my honor that night. All the big actor names were there, it was amazing. And the last to appear was Jane Mansfield. She knew all eyes were on her. She came straight to my desk. And then he sat down. See the photo for yourself, then tell me where did my gaze go? True, in her breasts, but only because I was afraid they would end up in my plate! Fear can be seen on my face! "I am afraid that everything in her dress will explode and end up on the table," Sophia Loren explained on one occasion.

As she discovered, although several more photos were taken that night showing the two divas having fun, Sofia allegedly kept thinking about Jane Mansfield's sexy dress all the time.
"There are more photos, but only this one explains what really happened in those moments. Many times when they asked me for an autograph, they asked me to sign that photo. I have always refused, and I will always refuse. I do not want to have anything to do with it. "I also refuse to show respect to Jane, who is no longer with us."
Jane Mansfield's dress from 1957 is on the list of "Most Scandalous Dresses" according to the list of "Harper's Bazaar".
Jane Mansfield, who died prematurely at the age of 34, had several successful films in addition to her status as a sex symbol in the XNUMXs and early XNUMXs, and won the Golden Globe Award for Acting. The famous blonde died in a car accident on the way to New Orleans.
