In January 1955, Mansfield appeared at a Silver Springs, Florida, press junket promoting the film "Underwater!", starring Jane Russell. She purposefully wore a too-small red bikini, lent to her by photographer friend Peter Gowland. When she dove into the pool for photographers, her top came off, creating a burst of media attention. The ensuing publicity led to Warner Bros. and "Playboy" approaching her with offers. On June 8 of the same year, her dress fell down to her waist twice in a single evening – once at a movie party, and later at a nightclub. In February 1958, she was topless at a Carnival party in Rio de Janeiro. She shimmied out of her polka-dot dress in a Rome nightclub in June 1962. In the three years since making her Broadway debut in "Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?", Mansfield had become the most controversial star of the decade.
