The old safety glass windshields of that time were notorious for forming a glass guillotine for anyone who had the unfortunate luck of having their head plow through a windshield. When the body was pulled back into the seat, the head was usually too large to fit back through the rapidly shrinking hole in the safety glass windshield as usually lopped off the body before the accident was resolved. This was so consistent with the old safety glass, a new formulation was demanded by the public to stop this. It's not hard to imagine Jane, begin the drive, having her head go through the windshield in a similar way. Also Law enforcement at the time was notorious for lying about the circumstances of an accident so as to avoid Paparazzi of the time trying to take a sensational photo of physically destroyed actress.

It's good work...but kind of disrespectful. I'd hate for Mariska, or any other of her kids to see this

I agree. About this being good work, and about not wanting any of her kids to see this.
BTW I have a manip of Mariska (not headless) that I'll post soon. When I do I'll post the link to my journal...
