‘My Mom Jayne’: Mariska Hargitay Investigates Jayne Mansfield’s Life (& Tragic Death) in New Doc

Captain Olivia Benson is ready to solve a new case— the death of her mother, Jayne Mansfield. Mariska Hargitay announced on Tuesday, April 8, that she has been working on a documentary, My Mom Jayne, about the mom she never knew.

“This movie is a labor of love and longing. It’s a search for the mother I never knew, an integration of a part of myself I’d never owned, and a reclaiming of my mother’s story and my own truth,” she said in a press release. “I’ve always believed there is strength in vulnerability, and the process of making this film has confirmed that belief like never before.” The documentary is produced by Hargitay and Trish Adlesic and executive produced by Lauran Bromley.
