At just three years old, Mariska Hargitay survived a car accident that claimed the life of her mother, Hollywood icon Jayne Mansfield. Intimately and poignantly, Hargitay sets out to consider the woman behind the legend. Through emotional interviews and never-before-seen home movies and photos, My Mom Jayne reveals a side of Mansfield rarely glimpsed by the public—a mother, a friend, an artist—and a daughter’s moving search for connection, truth, and healing.
