Law & Order’s Mariska Hargitay Expecting
Hargitay, 41, who plays NYPD Det. Olivia Benson on NBC’s Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, met Hermann, 38, on the show, where he has a recurring role. The couple wed in Santa Barbara, Calif. in August 2004 in front of 200 guests.
40 when she married. 41 when she had her first kid. I like this lady.
“It’s my first marriage. I wanted to find out where I was going before I found out who was going with me.”

Did you know that she is Jane Mansfield’s daughter?
The risk factors are high, and you’d have to get a lot of life insurance (to pay for the kid’s college :-))
Audra- You’re absolutely right; Mariska (pronounced: “Ma-rish-ka”) is the daughter of Jane Mansfield and Mickey Hargitay. Tragically, she was only three years old when the station wagon her mother was driving crashed into a tractor-trailer. Mariska was in the back, and was relatively unhurt. Her mother, tragically, was killed.
Donna – if you’d ever return my calls, I think you’d find the magic between us strong enough to accelerate your time-line.
Peace Out,

I think I just discovered who is responsible for all the Retrieval Masters phone calls I get.
