Mamie Van Doren

Mamie Van Doren is an American retired actress. A blonde bombshell, she is the last living member of the “Three M’s” group, formed by Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield, who were her friends and contemporaries. In 1953 Van Doren, who at the time was named Joan Lucille Olander, signed a seven-year contract with Universal, which hoped that she would become their version of Monroe. She starred in teen dramas, exploitation, musical, comedy, and rock and roll films, among other genres, many of which have gone on to become cult classics. She was one of the leading sex symbols in the 1950s.
