She was the ultimate blonde bombshell, a dazzling star whose life ended in a flash of tragedy. The world knew Jayne Mansfield, but did anyone truly know her?

For decades, Jayne Mansfield's story has been a whirlwind of sensational headlines, public spectacle, and a legacy often reduced to caricature. Now, for the very first time, step into the heart of her hidden world through the eyes of her youngest daughter, Emmy-winning actress Mariska Hargitay.

My Mom Jayne is an extraordinary, deeply personal journey of discovery, born from Mariska's powerful documentary. This compelling book breaks decades of silence, inviting you to:

  • Uncover the Real Jayne: Go beyond the manufactured image to reveal a woman of surprising intellect, profound artistic aspirations, and an unwavering drive that propelled her from humble beginnings to global icon.

  • Witness the Private Battles: Experience the crushing pressures of relentless fame, the constant media obsession, and the deeply human struggles that haunted Jayne's life behind the glittering façade.

  • Discover a Mother's Unseen Heart: Explore the tender, rarely glimpsed side of Jayne as a devoted parent, through intimate family memories that illuminate the unbreakable, unconditional love she shared with her children.

  • Join a Daughter's Healing Quest: Walk alongside Mariska as she unearths startling family revelations, confronts a lifetime of unanswered questions, and ultimately finds profound peace and a deeper connection to the mother who shaped her, even in absence.

Through the unique and empathetic "lens of a daughter's love," My Mom Jayne is a powerful act of reclamation-a definitive narrative that transforms a distorted legend into a story of resilience, unwavering affection, and the enduring human need for truth.

Prepare to be moved. This is Jayne Mansfield's story, finally told with the depth, honesty, and love she always deserved.

Interactive Documentary in Canada
<p>Interactive documentary emerged rapidly from a constellation of changing technologies and practices to much excitement, yet its history is short and its future uncertain. In the mid-2010s Canada was a world leader in the creation of i-docs. Less than a decade later technological obsolescence has rendered many of these celebrated projects inaccessible, while rapid digital innovation continues to change the i-doc form and its modes of experience. <p/><i>The Interactive Documentary in Canada</i> captures this transitional moment in documentary filmmaking and media production. Bringing together a range of historical, theoretical, and critical approaches, this collection examines the past - and the imagined future - of a nonfiction storytelling phenomenon that has Canadian institutions, figures, and works at its centre. Embracing a polyphonic conception of interactive documentary, the volume includes explorations of web-based, app-based, installation, and virtual reality works that push the boundaries of what is understood as documentary cinema. Leading documentary scholars and makers consider the historical and technological contexts of i-doc production, innovation, and exhibition&#x3b; the political and pedagogical potential of the genre&#x3b; the ethics of the i‐doc experience&#x3b; and the format's future lifespan in the contemporary media landscape. <p/><i>The Interactive Documentary in Canada</i> establishes a place for the i-doc in the history of Canadian film, highlighting the genre's significant impact on the National Film Board of Canada and on contemporary global documentary media.</p>
