Am I the only one who didn't know that Mariska Hargitay's mom.....

[XNASA]

...was Jayne Mansfield?

It just seems so strange to me.

[av8rdave]

1. I didn't know that

[trackfan]

2. Until reading her father's obituary that was ALL I knew about her

I didn't know she was on a TV show, or had any fame of her own.

[Bucky]

3. you are apparently one of two

That second picture is of Mansfield with her dogs, by the way, not her with a young Mariska.

[wildhorses]

4. whacha tryin' to say??

5. Thanks to Hollywood Babylon, I knew that a long, long time ago...

:P :rofl: I knew her dad was Mickey Hargitay, who was so poorly portrayed by Ahnuld the Governator in a really bad made-for-tv movie about them. :yoiks: It was the same one where Loni Anderson played Jayne... :puke:

I have a real knack for useless trivia, so this was no exception. :rofl:

[peekaloo]

11. LOL I remember that crappy movie. Ah-nol kept calling her "Jaynes".

:rofl:

[NewWaveChick1981]

12. It was the worst POS movie I think I've ever seen.

:rofl: :P OMFG, "Jaynes".... :rofl: :rofl: :yoiks:

6. i think i am the only person who has a problem with it

and i don't even know why.

[XNASA]

9. Is this why?

[datasuspect]

10. hey, those are just "physique" magazines under the bathroom sink

they don't mean anything else!!!!

[BigMcLargehuge]

7. I didn't realize it until I was reviewing one of Mansfield's movies on DVD

that was like six months ago.

8. She looks a lot like her mother.

I've thought so.

[johnnie]

13. I knew it

But then again, I know everything. B-)

[LostinVA]

14. I did know that -- she and her brother wee there when her mom died

They were in the back seat. She doesn't remember any of it -- luckily.

I think she's WAY prettier than her mom.

[Bucky]

15. Yep, that's where the scar on her face comes from.

She apparently doesn't like it. I find it incredibly sexy
