Notes
- - Part of exhibit subgroup: Hollywood Glamour Machine.
- - In April 1957, Mansfield's bosom was the feature of a notorious publicity stunt intended to deflect attention from Sophia Loren during a dinner party in the Italian star's honor. Photographs of the encounter were published around the world. The most famous image showed Loren's shocked and disapproving gaze falling upon the cleavage of the American actress who is sitting between Loren and her dinner.
