Law & Order: Special Victims Unit star Mariska Hargitay went on an emotional journey to learn more about her mother, Jayne Mansfield, in the new documentary My Mom Jayne, which she also directed. Hargitay was only three years old when her mother was killed in a car accident in Louisiana.
The actress admitted she does not have any real memories of her mother, so her siblings have helped fill in the blanks about their mother’s life. When Mansfield was married to Mickey Hargitay, they lived in a lavish mansion in Los Angeles. Mansfield was a talented piano player and had a grand piano in the house that featured murals of cupids designed by Glenn Holse.
