I have only seen one photograph of Jayne Mansfield and Marilyn Monroe together.

SorryMM was not at the 1961 Golden Globes. 1960when she won for "Some Like It Hot" and 1962she won as "World Female Movie Favorite."
Most of 1961 was spent in New York, recuperating from various hospitalizations or in Flordia w Joe D. -

Monroe is certainly doing her best to ignore Jayne. I mean, JM is inches from her, and how on earth do you miss something like that?! Marilyn had been very hurt by the characterization of her in "Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter," written by a man she considered a friend, George Axelrod. So, while she might not have had a personal animus toward Jayne, she wasn't going to be photographed acknowledging a girl who had mocked her on Broadway and was co-opting the more obvious aspects of her image.

When Axelrod come on board to adapt "Bus Stop" for the screen, Marilyn met with him. "I saw your play" she said without elaboration.
