Notes

Liner notes by Jayne Mansfield:

"When you pick up this album, many of you, I am sure will say, 'Jayne Mansfield reading classical poetry????' I think you will then want to turn the album over and read the back to find out what brought all of this about. That is why I decided to write a personal letter for the back 'liner' of the album.

An actress must act. It is a dis-association of self from the character to be acted out. In our profession we must be able to instantly express pain, grief, happiness, elation, and other emotions — not only from the physical expression but equally important, to be able to express our emotions with our voices. This, to me, has always been the true mettle of a good actor or actress. I can think of no greater challenge than the recitation of poetry — and particularly classical poetry.

Poetry to me is the expression of our daily lives, our history, loves, accomplishments and disappointments. I can think of no greater beauty than the reading of a Shakespeare Sonnet with a background of Tchaikovsky's romantic and beautifully poetic music. It is like a great Broadway Musical with words and music by the Masters.

In this album I have selected poetry which has had a profound influence on my life and career — which has given me inspiration to greater goals in life — soothed me during times if stress — and given greater meaning to the love and happiness I have known in my life.

It is my wish and desire that you will enjoy listening to this album as much as I enjoyed doing it.

Warmly,
Jayne Mansfield."
