Commenters note that Mansfield was actress Mariska Hargitay's mother and draw comparisons to other intellectually gifted actresses like Hedy Lamarr, who contributed to Bluetooth technology development. Multiple users emphasize how media and Hollywood marketed her as a sex symbol rather than celebrating her intelligence.

“So sad that she isn't remembered for these amazing traits and more as a dumb blonde. Pisses me off that so many gifted and beautiful women have been placed in that box.”
