A Slow But Steady Start
Jayne started making stage appearances including a production of Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman in 1953. Although she was starting to see some advancements in her career, some advertisers felt that she was too curvaceous in order to be in their commercials.
A Pageant Winner
While she was still at the University of Texas at Austin, Jayne competed in several beauty pageants and contests, winning the titles of Miss Photoflash, Miss Magnesium Lamp, and Miss Fire Prevention Week.
