In an emotional revelation, actress Mariska Hargitay opens up about a deeply personal part of her life in the newly released documentary My Mom Jayne. The Law & Order: SVU star shares that the man she grew up knowing as her father—bodybuilder and actor Mickey Hargitay—was not her biological dad.
The documentary, which centers on her late mother, Hollywood icon Jayne Mansfield, delves into previously untold family history. In one of the most poignant moments, Mariska reveals she discovered the truth about her biological father years ago and eventually sought him out for a difficult but necessary conversation.
“I grew up idolizing Mickey, and he was everything a father should be,” she says in the film. “But learning the truth about my biological father was a journey I had to take—to understand my identity and my past.”
