Tommy Noonan persuaded Mansfield to become the first mainstream American actress to appear nude in a starring role, in the film "Promises! Promises!" (1963). "Playboy" published nude photographs of Mansfield on the set in its June 1963 issue, resulting in obscenity charges against Hugh Hefner in a Chicago court. "Promises! Promises!" was banned in Cleveland, Ohio, but enjoyed box-office success elsewhere. As a result of the film's success, Mansfield landed on the Top 10 list of box-office attractions for that year.
