Mariska Hargitay Wins Two Emmys for 'My Mom Jayne,' Honors Gloria Steinem
Mariska Hargitay doubled up at the Emmys with her HBO doc about her mother Jayne Mansfield.
Before Mariska Hargitay steps up to host the Primetime Emmy Awards, she's already got some hardware to show for it. The Law & Order: SVU star took home two Emmys for her HBO documentary My Mom Jayne, which digs into her late mother's life and legacy while untangling some personal mysteries along the way.
The film explores actress Jayne Mansfield's career and impact—and gives Mariska a chance to excavate her own story too. From the stage, Hargitay made sure to credit feminist icon Gloria Steinem, a key voice in the doc.
It's a solid come-up heading into her hosting gig. Docs about family, legacy, and reckoning with the past have been having a real moment—and this one clearly resonated with the Academy. Mariska bringing that energy to the Emmy stage should make for something worth watching.
