Mariska Hargitay reveals why she was left behind in mom Jayne Mansfield's deadly car wreck aged THREE
Jayne Mansfield was one of the reigning sex symbols of the 1950s, who with Promises! Promises! became the first star actress to feature naked in an American movie since the advent of talkies.
In spite of her stardom, Jayne's movie roles were eclipsed by a whirlwind love life that included three failed marriages, the second of which was to the Hungarian heartthrob Mickey Hargitay, who earned the bodybuilding title Mr. Universe in 1955. Reduced to playing the nightclub circuit, the woman once touted as 'the working man's Marilyn Monroe' found herself staging 'wardrobe malfunctions' for publicity and throwing herself into drunken brawls. After Jayne's tragic death, Mariska moved in with Mickey, who was able to provide her with a stable upbringing until she ventured into acting herself, most famously with her popular role on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
