Mariska Hargitay – Jayne Mansfield And Mickey Hargitay’ s Daughter

Despite her popularity, many are still surprised when they find out that award-winning actress Mariska Hargitay is the daughter of Hollywood’s brightest stars. In June 1967, Mariska and her brothers were in the back seat of a car when it was involved in the fatal accident which killed their mother while they escaped with minor injuries miraculously. Hailing from the industry’s Golden Age, Jayne Mansfield is one of the most iconic stars of her generation.

Her beauty, of course, is reflected in her daughter Mariska. Did you know that Jayne and her husband had actually split up for a period of time, only to reconcile shortly before the birth of their second child, Mariska? Needless to say, she gets credit for bringing her parents back together. That’s just one of her achievements, however. Since then, she has grown up to be one of TV’s highest paid and most respected actresses. We’re sure her parents would’ve been very proud.
