The daughter of screen siren Jayne Mansfield and muscular, sometime movie actor Mickey Hargitay, Mariska Hargitay worked in small roles in the 1980s and 90's.
Her turn as the flighty single mother who falls for Anthony Edwards' Dr Mark Greene on ER rejuvenated her career and led to her casting as a policewoman specializing in sex crimes on the NBC drama Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (1999- ).
Her role as Detective Olivia Benson, veteran of the special victims unit, earned the actress her first Golden Globe Award in 2005. She’s currently the highest-paid actress in a prime time series.
