Original script:
The star of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes joined rehearsal at Circle Arts today. Blonde and beautiful Jayne Mansfield will dazzle theatre-goers in her lead role of Lorelei in the musical comedy about a girl who finds diamonds suit her better than boyfriends. Jayne and her husband have just returned from playing several weeks of summer stock. Miss Mansfield brought along three of her four children. At rehearsal today were 5 year old Mickey Jr. and 3 year old Zoltan. Their 12 year old daughter Jayne Marie is also here but a 6 month old daughter is being cared for at home. Hubby Mickey Hargitay has a supporting role in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes which opens at Circle Arts next Tuesday.

That 6 month old daughter is actress Mariska Hargitay.
