1960s Hollywood sex symbol Mamie Van Doren can still kick it! Photos by Alan Mercer and others.
At one point in Hollywood, Mamie Van Doren, along with Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield, was considered one the most beautiful women on the silver screen. The three of the them were collectively known as the “Three Ms” and shared a special bond of sexy sisterhood.
Always at odds with the censors during one of America’s most conservative periods, Mamie Van Doren was known as the Bad Girl. Viewed as too darn hot, Maimie was sidelined to roles in B movies where she could show off her shapely feminine form.
Yeah he was that hot. Taken in 1954, Mamie Van Doren might have been one of the few women ever to get her groove on with gay actor Rock Hudson. Photo courtesy of Mamie Van Doren.
Today, Mamie Van Doren is as alive and kicking as ever and has a fantastic new Country music album “Still a Troublemaker.” The album features a trio with country music stars Lynn Anderson (I Never Promised You A Rose Garden) and Linda Davis.
Listen as we talk with Mamie about her amazing life and she gives us a rare look at dating many of Hollywood’s Golden age hunks, and even Henry Kissinger.
What was it like to be intimate with gay hunk Rock Hudson?
What did Joan Crawford really think about Marilyn Monroe?
Mamie shares it all on today’s show, you don’t want to miss it!

Great interview!
Great show, guys!
What a delightful interview!! She has such a wonderful spirit. I really enjoyed hearing her talk and tell her stories. I get the impression you could have done two shows with her and you still would barely have scratched the surface. Great job boys!!
Mamie Van Doren’s personality, joy and passion is the secret not just to a long life, but a happy one, despite all the tragedies that can befall us. What an inspiring woman, with a great rack too!
Wow, I really admire her outlook on life. More people should be so free. Also, cockatoos! CUTE!
Wonderful interview, it was a joy to listen to her stories!
Amazing interview. Once again you introduce us to yet another amazing person. can’t wait till she comes back.
OMG I wasn’t expecting it!! I fall from my chair! Thank you! ♥♥♥♥♥
I did a TV show with Mamie (the “Kup” show in Chicago) in t he late 70′s for a full uninterrupted hour. I was pitching my first book, The Other Man, The Other Woman: Understanding and Coping with the Extramarital Affair. Also on the show was George Savalas (the brother of Tally of Kojak fame). He wanted to strangle me and I didn’t understand why. I was not promoting affairs just discussing the dynamics and how it impacted relationships.
Mamie was my protector–I was not experienced with being on TV and was taken by surprise with George’s hostility. After the show going down in the elevator (with her bodyguard and puppies) she explained that George had recently discovered his wife with another man in their bed! My point to this long story is that I found Mamie to be a genuine sweetheart, none of that Hollywood fake for her!
