Actress Mariska Hargitay debuted a new blonde hairdo, reminiscent of her late mother, Jayne Mansfield, who was a pinup model and actress in the 1950s. Hargitay's father was Mickey Hargitay, a Hungarian bodybuilder who married Mansfield in 1958. Their marriage was turbulent due to Mansfield's affairs and drinking problem. She died tragically in a car accident when Hargitay was three years old. Hargitay has since become a successful actress, most notably in her role on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. She attributes her resilience to her past trauma and her ability to transform it.
