Mariska Hargitay drops bombshell family secret she's kept hidden for 30 years
In her directorial debut documentary, My Mom Jayne, Mariska Hargitay discloses a deeply personal revelation: the man who raised her, Mickey Hargitay, is not her biological father. At age 25, she discovered that her biological father is Nelson Sardelli, a Brazilian-born Italian entertainer who had a relationship with her mother, Jayne Mansfield, in the early 1960s. Despite this revelation, Mariska maintained loyalty to Mickey, who raised her after Mansfield's tragic death in 1967. The documentary, premiering at the Cannes Film Festival and airing on HBO on June 27, explores Mariska's journey of identity, family, and reconciliation.
