Description:

The Associated Press (AP) Wire photograph from February 15, 1962, captures Jayne Mansfield and her husband Mickey Hargitay shortly before they departed for a water-skiing trip in Nassau, Bahamas. While the wire photograph is often dated around February 15, 1962—due to the timeline of global news syndication and photo re-releases—the actual boating mishap took place a few days earlier on February 8, 1962. The Original February 15, 1962 Jayne Mansfield AP Wire Photograph captures the Hollywood star and her husband, Mickey Hargitay, right before or around the timeline of their famous, heavily publicized Bahamian boating accident. On February 8, 1962, Mansfield, Hargitay, and their marketing manager Jack Drury went water-skiing near Nassau when their small boat capsized, leaving them marooned on a remote mangrove island overnight.
