What Really Happened to Mariska Hargitay on the Power Rangers Set #BehindTheScenes

Mariska Hargitay filmed the 1995 Power Rangers movie — and her footage is not in the film. She's told the story herself, on television, more than once. Gabrielle Fitzpatrick was cast as Dulcea first, then needed emergency surgery about a week before cameras rolled, so the producers rang their second choice. In Hargitay's own telling she was there through November and December, flew home for Christmas on the 21st, rang in on the 3rd of January ready to come back, and was told "you're good, don't worry about it." That's how she found out. Fitzpatrick recovered, came back, and reshot the part — every frame of Dulcea in the finished film is her. So there's a whole Mariska Hargitay Power Rangers performance that no audience has ever seen. How long was she actually on that film? Her castmates remember the better part of two months; the production record says two weeks. Nobody's put a precise number on it, and this video doesn't pick a side either. The full story of the chaotic 1995 movie shoot is coming to the channel. A story a day this month, and this is the first one where the main attraction is missing. #Shorts #PowerRangers #MariskaHargitay #90s #MovieFacts
