Jayne Mansfield first met Anton LaVey in San Francisco in 1966 and was drawn to the (partly metaphorical) church he  founded. Though Mansfield never converted to Satanism, the two nevertheless fostered an amicable relationship that was a source of support for the actress as her career began to wane (per Interview Magazine). However, that friendship was put to the test when Mansfield brought Brody along with her on a visit to LaVey's home. According to the Daily Mail, a jealous Brody seemed to ridicule the principles of his church, even mockingly lighting candles he came across. LaVey was outraged and told the lawyer that he may have just inadvertently cursed himself.

When Brody later forcibly interrupted a phone call between Mansfield and LaVey, the latter directly cursed him and pronounced that he would be dead within the year along with those near him. He even encouraged Mansfield to leave Brody after this exchange but, despite their friendship, she didn't. Within a year she died alongside Brody in that horrific car accident. While Brody's angering of LaVey certainly didn't actually trigger the events of that fatal night, the alleged curse is nonetheless staggeringly coincidental — assuming LaVey, ever the showman, didn't tailor his story to better fit the tragedy.
