Jayne Mansfield: Shakespeare, Tchaikovsky & Me is a novelty album by actress, model and Playmate Jayne Mansfield in 1964.[1][2][3] She recited Shakespeare's sonnets and poems by Marlowe, Browning, Wordsworth, and others against a background of Tchaikovsky's music for the alibum.[1][2] The album cover depicted a bouffant-coiffed Mansfield with lips pursed and breasts barely covered by a fur stole, posing between busts of the Russian composer and the Bard of Avon.[2]
The New York Times described the album as the actress reading "30-odd poems in a husky, urban, baby voice". The paper's reviewer went on to state that "Miss Mansfield is a lady with apparent charms, but reading poetry is not one of them."[3]
