Mariska Hargitay on Uncovering The Real Story Behind Her Mother, Jayne Mansfield

Mariska Hargitay doesn’t just play a detective on Law and Order: SVU, she also investigates her own life in the new HBO Max documentary My Mom, Jayne. In the deeply personal deep dive, Mariska cracks open decades-old boxes (with a crowbar, no less) to uncover the untold story of her late mother, 1950s Hollywood icon Jayne Mansfield. On this episode of The Run-Through, hosts Chloe and Margaux Anbouba—Vogue’s senior beauty and wellness editor—sit down with Mariska in the pod studio to talk about grief, the emotional excavation process, and what she discovered about her own identity along the way.
