MAMIEVAN DOREN BIO born Joan Lucille Olander; February 6, 1931 is an Americanactress, model, singer, and sex symbol.[2][3] She is perhaps best rememberedfor the rock 'n' roll, juvenile delinquency exploitation movie Untamed Youth(1957), and other films of this calibre.Van Doren was born on February 6, 1931, in Rowena, SouthDakota, the daughter of Warner Carl Olander (1908 ? 1992) and Lucille HarrietBennett (1912 ? 1995). She is of three-quarters Swedish ancestry; the remainderis mixed English and German. In 1939, the family moved to Sioux City, Iowa andthen to Los Angeles during May 1942.In early 1946, Van Doren began working as an usher at thePantages Theatre in Hollywood. The following year, she had a bit part on anearly television series. She also sang with Ted Fio Rito's band and enteredseveral beauty contests. Van Doren was married for a brief time at 17 when sheand her first husband, Jack Newman, eloped to Santa Barbara. The marriage wasdissolved quickly because of his abusive nature. In the summer of 1949, at age 18, she won the titles "Miss Eight Ball" and "Miss PalmSprings". She was engaged to heavyweight boxing champion Jack Dempsey, butbroke off the engagement upon signing a contract with Universal Studios.Producer Howard Hughes discovered Van Doren when she wascrowned Miss Palm Springs. The pair dated for several years. Hughes launchedher career by placing her in several RKO films. This section of a biography of a living person needsadditional citations for verification. Please help by adding reliable sources.Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourcedmust be removed immediately, especially if potentially libelous or harmful.Hughes provided Van Doren with a bit part in Jet Pilot atRKO Radio Pictures, which was her film debut. Her line of dialogue consisted ofone word, "Look!" and she appears uncredited in the film. Thoughproduction of the movie was from 1949 to 1953 (delays by Hughes), it was notreleased until 1957. The following year, 1951, she posed for famous pin-up girlartist Alberto Vargas, the painter of the glamorous "Vargas Girls".Van Doren did a few more bit parts in movies at RKO, including His Kind of Woman (1951) starring Robert Mitchum, Jane Russell andVincent Price. About her appearance in that one, Van Doren has said, "Ifyou blinked you would miss me. I look barely old enough to drive."Van Doren then began working on the stage. She was ashowgirl in New York City in Monte Proser's nightclub version of Billion DollarBaby. Songwriter Jimmy McHugh discovered her for his musicals, then decided shewas too good for the chorus line and should have dramatic training. She studiedwith Ben Bard and Bliss-Hayden. While appearing in the role of Marie in ashowcase production of Come Back, Little Sheba, Van Doren was seen by PhilBenjamin, a casting director at Universal International.On January 20, 1953, Van Doren signed a contract withUniversal Studios. They had big plans for her, hoping she would bring the samekind of success that 20th Century Fox had with Marilyn Monroe. Van Doren, whosesigning day coincided with the inauguration of President Eisenhower, was giventhe first name Mamie for Ike's wife, Mamie Eisenhower. Other Van Dorens, whowere unrelated to Mamie, were a prominent and noted family of Americanintellectuals; these Van Dorens included two Pulitzer Prize winning brothers, Carl (biographer) and Mark (poet), and Mark's wife Dorothy, an academic andhistorian. Mark and Dorothy's son, Charles Van Doren, made front-page news bothby winning $129, 000 on a television game show in 1957, then admitting in 1959that the program was rigged. The publicity generated by this scandal kept the'Van Doren' name in the newspapers and tabloids.Universal first cast Van Doren in a minor role as a singerin Forbidden, starring Tony Curtis. Interested in Van Doren's allure, Universalthen cast her in The All American (1953), (also starring Tony Curtis), playingher first major role as Susie Ward, a wayward girl who is the man-trap at acampus beer joint. In Yankee Pasha (1954), starring Jeff Chandler and RhondaFleming, she played a slave girl, Lilith, in a supporting role. In 1955, shehad a supporting role in the musical Ain't Misbehavin' and starred in the crime-dramaRunning Wild. Soon thereafter, Van Doren turned down a Broadway role in theplay Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? and was replaced by newcomer JayneMansfield.In 1956, Van Doren appeared opposite a young and unknown (atthe time) Clint Eastwood in the Western Star in the Dust. Though Van Dorengarnered prominent billing alongside John Agar and Richard Boone, she appearsrather briefly, as the daughter of a ranch owner. By this time, Van Doren hadgrown tired of Universal, which was only casting her in non-breakthrough roles.Therefore, Van Doren began accepting bigger and better roles in better moviesfrom other studios.Van Doren went to star in several bad girl movies that laterbecame cult films. She also appeared in some of the first movies to featurerock 'n' roll music and became identified with this rebellious style, and shemade some rock records. One of her rock 'n' roll films, Untamed Youth, waslater featured in the 1990 Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode "UntamedYouth".Some of Van Doren's more noteworthy movies include Teacher'sPet (1958) at Paramount Pictures, Born Reckless (1958) at Warner Brothers, HighSchool Confidential (1958), and The Beat Generation (1959), the latter two atMetro-Goldwyn-Mayer. But Van Doren was just as well known for her provocativeroles. She was in prison for Girls Town (1959), which provoked censors with ashower scene where audiences could see Van Doren's naked back. As Eve in ThePrivate Lives of Adam and Eve (1960) she wore only fig leaves, and in otherfilms, like The Beautiful Legs of Sabrina (1959), Sex Kittens Go to College(1960), and Vice Raid (1960) audiences were clued in as to the nature of thefilms from the titles.Many of Van Doren's film roles showcased her ample curves, and her onscreen wardrobe usually consisted of tight sweaters, low-cut blouses, form-fitting dresses, and daring (for the era) swimsuits, but she and suchother blonde bombshell contemporaries as Jayne Mansfield, Cleo Moore, ShereeNorth, Anita Ekberg, Barbara Lang, Joi Lansing, Greta Thyssen, and BarbaraNichols did not attain the same level of superstar status as Marilyn Monroe.Marilyn, Mamie, and Mansfield were known as "The Three M's". But bycomparison, where Monroe succeeded in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and Mansfieldhad big success replacing Van Doren in Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?, Universal stuck Van Doren with Francis the Talking Mule in Francis Joins theWACS (1954).After Universal Studios chose not to renew her contract in1959, Van Doren was then a free agent and had to struggle to find work. Some ofher later movies were foreign and independent productions, which would dolittle to keep her image in the public's eye. Many of the productions werelow-budget B movies with some having gained a cult following for their highcamp value.The first of these later films was Sex Kittens Go to College(1960), which co-starred Tuesday Weld. Following the completion of theArgentine film The Blonde from Buenos Aires (1961), Van Doren took time offfrom her career. She came back to the screen in The Candidate (1964), which wassoon followed by Freddy in the Wild West, both of which were low-budget filmsthat left little impact. In 1964, Tommy Noonan convinced Van Doren to appear in3 Nuts in Search of a Bolt. Van Doren had turned down Noonan's previous offerto star opposite Jayne Mansfield in Promises! Promises!, and was replaced withMarie McDonald. In 3 Nuts in Search of a Bolt, Mamie did a beer-bath scene butis not seen nude. She posed for Playboy to promote the film.Van Doren next appeared in The Las Vegas Hillbillys (1966)released by Woolner Brothers.[7] This film co-starred Mansfield; this was theonly time two of "The Three M's" appeared together in a film. Asequel was titled Hillbillys in a Haunted House, but Van Doren turned this roledown, and was replaced by Joi Lansing. She then appeared in The Navy vs. theNight Monsters (1966), a science fiction film. In 1967, she appeared in You'veGot to Be Smart, and starred in another sci-fi film, Voyage to the Planet ofPrehistoric Women (1968), the following year, directed by Peter Bogdanovich.This film featured a completely unknown cast other than Van Doren. In 1968, shewas offered the role of a murder victim in the independent horror film The IceHouse as a replacement for Mansfield, who died the previous year. However, sheturned the offer down and was replaced by Sabrina.Van Doren also developed a nightclub act and did livetheater. She performed in stage productions of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes andDames at Sea at the Drury Lane Theater, Chicago, and appeared in Will SuccessSpoil Rock Hunter? and The Tender Trap at the Arlington Park Theater. In the1970s, Van Doren performed a nightclub act in Las Vegas as well.In 1970, Van Doren had a supporting role in The Arizona Kid.Since then, Van Doren has appeared only in cameo appearances in low-budgetedfilms.

Law.Van Doren released her autobiography, Playing the Field(1987), which brought much new attention and proved to be her biggest mediasplash in over 25 years. Since the book's publication, she has often beeninterviewed and profiled and has occasionally returned to acting. She has consistentlydenied in interviews ever having breast implants. In 2006, Mamie posed forphotographs for Vanity Fair with Pamela Anderson as part of its annualHollywood issue.Van Doren has been married five times. In 1949, she marriedsportswear manufacturer Jack Newman; she divorced him later that same year. Hersecond marriage was to bandleader, composer and actor Ray Anthony whom shemarried in 1955. They had one son, Perry Ray Anthony, born March 18, 1956.Thecouple divorced in 1961. When Van Doren's early 1960s, highly publicized, on-again off-again engagement to baseball player Bo Belinsky ended in 1964, shemarried baseball player Lee Meyers in 1966. They divorced in 1968. Her fourthmarriage was to businessman Ross McClintock in 1972. They met while working onPresident Nixon's re-election campaign; the marriage was annulled in 1973.Since 1979, she has been married to Thomas Dixon, an actor and dentist.In her autobiography, Van Doren acknowledged that she hadnumerous affairs with celebrities. These included Clark Gable, Howard Hughes, Johnny Carson, Elvis Presley, Burt Reynolds, Jack Dempsey, Steve McQueen, ClintEastwood, Johnny Rivers, Robert Evans, Eddie Fisher, Warren Beatty, TonyCurtis, Steve Cochran and Joe Namath. Claiming fidelity to each lover, she saidabout Hollywood life, "I don't wear panties anymore - this startles theHollywood wolves so much they don't know what to pull at, so they leave mealone."She was never a Playboy Playmate, but she posed twice forthe magazine in 1963 to promote her movie 3 Nuts in Search of a Bolt (1964). Bythis point in her career, her figure measured 38DD-26-36 (self-described in1997). She said about her chest measurement, "I don't even want to saydouble-D, because they're even bigger than that."In 1964, Van Doren was a guest at the Whisky a Go Go on theSunset Strip in West Hollywood when The Beatles were at the club visiting withJayne Mansfield, and an inebriated George Harrison accidentally threw his drinkon her when trying to throw it on some bothersome journalists. During theVietnam War, she did tours for U.S. troops in Vietnam for three months in 1968, and again in 1970. In addition to USO shows, she visited hospitals, includingthe wards of amputees and burn victims.[citation needed]In 1980, Van Doren was referenced in the controversialCanadian Top 20 hit "High School Confidential" by the popular 1980sCanadian new wave band Rough Trade. In 2005, "High SchoolConfidential" was named the 38th greatest Canadian song of all time on theCBC Radio One series 50 Tracks: The Canadian Version. In recent years, VanDoren has made use of multimedia including Facebook and Twitter. She and her husbandThomas maintain her website where various merchandise along with home-madeshort films starring herself, such as A Girl and Her Banana, are available. Italso provides contemporary topless and nude photos and her outspoken politicalviews.[2] She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 7057 HollywoodBoulevard.
