It was a pleasure chatting with Mariska Hargitay at a Television Academy FYC event last night. The Emmy and Golden Globe winner continues to shine as the star of NBC’s “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit”—and now adds director to her impressive list of accomplishments. Don’t miss her powerful and deeply personal HBO Original documentary “My Mom Jayne,” a moving tribute to her mother, Hollywood icon Jayne Mansfield. Through intimate family interviews and heartfelt storytelling, Mariska reveals a side of Jayne the world has never truly seen, along with meaningful family discoveries. Having lost her mother at just three years old, it’s incredibly touching to watch Mariska explore her family history, connect with loved ones, and ultimately find a sense of peace. Her conversations with her siblings and relatives are thoughtful, emotional, and truly illuminating. I highly recommend watching “My Mom Jayne” on HBO Max—it’s a beautiful and unforgettable film.
