Mariska Hargitay

Mariska at about aged 3

If you get HBO you should watch My Mom Jayne directed and produced by Mariska Hargitay. She gets to dig into the life of her mother, Jayne Mansfield, who died when Mariska was just 3 years old. She goes through a storage locker that has been closed off for many years. It has a lot of Jayne’s personal photos and press clippings.

This is also a genealogy story as you get to meet most of Mariska’s extended family. The only one missing is her dad, Mickey Hargitay, who died in 2006.

There is a big family secret reveled that Mariska has kept quiet for 30 years.
