What famous Hollywood glamour queen crowned the 1962 UCLA Mardi Gras king?
Answer:
Jayne Mansfield crowned the Mardi Gras King in 1962. The king was typically a favorite

Two decades after Mansfield's Mardi Gras appearance, her daughter would enroll at UCLA. She's better known as Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning actress Mariska Hargitay '87.
