You want HOW MUCH FORINT for that paprika???

Real Dad's IG is full-on Maga bs.

Oleebia!

Pisan.

If only she could embrace her dyke-itude as well

Oh, dear!

Mickey Hargitay was hot.

[quote]But even after a starring role in the Broadway hit Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?, its film adaptation, and several more big movies, Mansfield struggled to get anyone to see past her breasts.

Seriously, tho, did the piggish Mansfield have the biggest boobs ever to hit Hollywood? I mean, she’s halfway to deformed.

R8, I used that spelling because he was born in Brazil even though he is Italian. Nothing worse than a know-it-all Italian.

Mansfield was just gross - an embarrassment.

Eye-talian beauty Mariska Hargitay

especially heinous!

Jayne was a whore, darlin’!

I had no idea Jane Mansfield was her mother.

Huh.

Just wait til you hear about Jon Voigt’s daughter, r16!

She's beyond tiresome. Her father's been dead for 19 years. She's had ample time to break this story.

Same thing with her sexual abuse - she's been on SVU for 25 years - and just last year came forward with her sexual abuse story?

Feels like she's grasping for new things to keep her name in the headlines.

She lucked out on this weirdly popular show and that's it. There will be no more. Accept it and move along. Tired of this dripping of 'new' and 'shocking' information from her.

She had pancake tits, r10.

It's about time she broke her silence !!!!!

How weird to think that anyone gives a shit who her biological father is

I find it of interest, r21, sue me.

One should let the work speak for itself!

We get it, r18, you're *not* one of her fans.

She looks great in OP’s post.

The only thing truly shocking thing she could do is admit she’s a big lez….and name names. Otherwise, just let the aging SVU die and go count your money.

She's staying with the show simply to annoy you, r26. It seems to be working.

Does she count as a nepo baby? Her mother died when she was literally three years old and SVU is the only thing on her resume, and she didn't get the part until she was 35.

Are we sure her father isn’t daddy LaVey?

[quote]She's beyond tiresome. Her father's been dead for 19 years. She's had ample time to break this story.

Did she know who her bio dad was back then?

When she won the Emmy in 20006, she thanked her father but didn't name him.

[quote]"But mostly I want to thank my father, because he is the reason that I am standing here today. I'm so proud to be your daughter, Dad. I can't wait to celebrate this with you."

I'm assuming she was talking about Mickey Hargitay, who died a couple of weeks after the ceremony.

[quote]R28 Does she count as a nepo baby? Her mother died when she was literally three years old and SVU is the only thing on her resume, and she didn't get the part until she was 35.

Yes, she’s a nepo baby. Her (supposed) dad Mickey Hargitay was a celebrity, as well. Her parentage opened doors, even if from just grim curiosity.

Remember the TV biopic with Loni Anderson as Jayne and Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mickey?

Isn't this really old news?

[quote] Does she count as a nepo baby? Her mother died when she was literally three years old and SVU is the only thing on her resume, and she didn't get the part until she was 35.

Not true. She wasn’t a big name but had been a working actress for 15 years before getting SVU.

Yea she was talking about Hargitay R30. He was dying and had attended many of the award shows where she was nominated.

She saw her bio dad when she was 30 but didn’t warm up to him or her half sisters until later. Even after establishing a relationship with them it took her years to acknowledge that they were her sisters.

[quote]Are we sure her father isn’t daddy LaVey?

I'm sure Mariska will let us know in a few years

[quote] I used that spelling because he was born in Brazil even though he is Italian. Nothing worse than a know-it-all Italian.

Are you saying that "pisan" is the Portuguese spelling of "paisan?"

If so, show your work. If not, make it make sense.

Why do people get some angry and bitter about "nepo" babies? What's the big fucking deal? Who CARES? Are they taking a job away from you?

As for nepos, they rise as far they can...mommy or daddy's name might get them in the door and even an opportunity or two, but if they suck, are a problem, or don't work hard at it, they don't tend to go very far.

In Mariska's case I doubt being the daughter of those two helped her at all. By the time she was starting her career, her mother had been dead for nearly 20 years. Her "father"'s sole claim to fame was being a hot body builder and married to a much bigger name. There was no "clout" for Mariska to take any advantage of.

Liza Minnelli…. Mariska Sardelli….Liza Minnelli…. Mariska Sardelli…..

We might all have been spared this if she had been sitting up in that car.

"Not true. She wasn’t a big name but had been a working actress for 15 years before getting SVU."

Love her in the "Seinfeld" episode where she's auditioning for the role of Elaine in Jerry's show-within-a-show "about nothing."

She’s basing this on a picture of him. She believed they look alike. No DNA test. She’s an idiot.

very nice pics of the subject

R41 yikes, I just assumed this had been determined for fact if she's putting it out there like this. A very simple DNA test compared against Mickey's relatives could prove whether or not he was actually her dad. To assume based on that picture alone is fucking laughable. I don't even see a resemblance to be honest.

[quote] In her 20s, someone showed Hargitay a photo of Sardelli. She immediately knew in her bones that he was her biological father. “It was like the floor fell out from underneath me,” she recalls in My Mom Jayne. “Like my infrastructure dissolved.” But when she confronted Mickey, he denied it. The encounter was so shattering that she swept the skeleton back under the family rug and never mentioned Sardelli to Mickey again. (Mickey died in 2006.)

She truly is a dingbat. There’s no proof that he’s her father. Sounds like she had borderline personality disorder. She can’t stop telling lies.

Wasn’t her first regular job on Falcon Crest?

Nelson Sardelli is still alive at age 90 and resides in Las Vegas.

I wonder what he has to say about all this?

R18 there’s no paywall in the first place

R46 if only there were a documentary premiering at Cannes you could find out.

I don't find her particularly attractive. She has an odd hook nose.

How she nabbed that hottie I'll never understand.

Gentlemen, Photoshop is a girl's best friend.

So wait...she doesn't have a dna test proving that Sardelli is her bio father and this entire story is based on vibes??

Coming soon from Mariska: "I've been living a lie—Anton LaVey IS my father!"

Reading the entire article, we learn that Jayne Mansfield had separated from Hargisay before going back to him in the year before Mariska'a birth and my guess is that Mariska has done a little back-of- the-envelope math to figure out that she had to have been conceived during that separation

Mariska has an olive complexion that looks very Italian to me. She has a lot of her mother's features, but their skin tones are quite different. Her bio dad being of Italian ancestry sort of makes sense.

Please she looks like a sneering Hungarian peasant, dragging a cart full of cabbage to market.

R55 as she aged she looked increasingly Hungarian - or so I assumed!

R54 - I agree - always thought she looked somewhat Italian and a bit darker complected based on her parents.

She could have had a DNA test done with her brothers really easily to confirm it. Even back then.

I believe her but all of this, like her other stories, just sounds weird and a bit made-up (I saw a pic in my 20s and I said that's my father!)

In fairness, the photo of her bio-father wasn’t some rando, it was of the guy who dated her mother a year before she was born.

What??? This is absurd slander!!!

Also, didn't her mother have an olive complexion?

It's simple...pull her pants down. If she's Hung-arian, she's Mickey's kid.

She was actually quite good in SVU for many seasons. It was a well done show. But around season 16 or so the whole program changed to being about Olivia and Olivia's kid and Olivia's life and Olivia and Olivia and Olivia. It's almost as if she might be something of a prima donna.

The other weird part of the show is that when it started, she was quite attractive. Her looks are long gone, but the scripts, which as executive producer she supervises, almost always discuss how beautiful she is. Now.

R62 It's the Lucy Syndrome. In The Lucy Show and especially Here's Lucy, there were lots of comments and compliments about youthful Lucy. And, calling her a "girl" or young woman.

The woman was in her 40s for I Love Lucy, her 50s for The Lucy Show and 60s for Here's Lucy.

She stopped being a girl or young woman when FDR was president...first term.

[quote]I believe her but all of this, like her other stories, just sounds weird and a bit made-up (I saw a pic in my 20s and I said that's my father!)

Reminds me of the GOLDEN GIRLS episode where Rose believes that Bob Hope is her father.

ROSE: Bob Hope is my father. Well, sort of. I mean, he could be, maybe. There's something I've never told you girls. I spent the first 8 years of my life at the St. Olaf Orphanage. I loved my adoptive parents so much, I really never think about it, but I sure did before I became their daughter. When I was at the orphanage, I used to daydream all the time that my real parents would knock on the door and take me away. So, like most of the kids there, I started fantasizing about who they might be. I had a particularly clear picture in my head of my father. Anyway, one day, they took us all to the movies, and when Bob Hope came on the screen, I stood up and yelled, "My God, that's my father! That's him!"

😂

You insult me, pig! This is GOOD cabbage! Leave my stall NOW!

Mariska Hargitay-Sardelli Hermann?

Let's stick with "Esther Blodgett." She ain't being hired for "The Munsters."

Does anyone care or really think she was lying in the classic sense? If Mickey Hartigay raised her and was a father figure, most people wouldn't have a huge problem with Mariska considering him her father. The biodad seems more of an issue for her. Why would we care?

As someone who fairly recently found out the real identity of his father (on the cusp of 50), daddy stuff goes deep, especially if there's a lack of certainty and people aren't telling you everything. The significance of your father's identity winds up taking on much more significance and can be hard to understand for people who have never had to give any thought to who their father was.

She's way past the cusp of 50, R68.

[quote]Why do people get some angry and bitter about "nepo" babies? What's the big fucking deal?

Because they're disgusting. A lot of ugly nepo kids have gotten jobs as models and they're UGLY.

Then there are the nepo actors who give out interviews about how hard they worked to get a role. The reality is that none of them would have gotten their foot in the door for an audition. And they don't understand that. They truly have no idea of how hard it is to break into acting.

People don't want to hear a bunch of nonsense from people who have had everything in their lives handed to them on a silver platter

The Nepo actors seem to sink or swim. The parents can get them an agent and pay for classes, and if they have the power, cast them in their projects, but that’s the extent of it. If they don’t work on screen, if they have no skills and charisma, the audience aren’t interested. Take Michael Douglas - he was a star in his own right, his siblings weren’t.

The Nepo models - often short, with bad walks, and faces that are attractive but not in a strikingly model-like way - seem to hang around like bad smells.

R37 = JLC, stroking her cock.

[quote] Feels like she's grasping for new things to keep her name in the headlines.

She should get a creepy tattoo with her child.

IMHO Michael Douglas, Jane Fonda and Liza Minnelli would've made it in show business no matter what, even if they'd been from Bumfucke Iowa. All three just had that X factor something that makes a person a star.

^^ true

Every time I hear anything about her it's always about her parents.

This is probably the most pointless celebrity “reveal” I’ve ever read. This woman looks like Caitlyn Jenner except for the carefully posed photos in this article. And that is a terrible thing.

You are so right R62! And she was supposed to be pregnant in Yours Mine and Ours. She really milked it out.

It’s not that unusual.

Sean Astin had the same situation with celebrity parents. He’s turned out pretty normal if a bit highly strung, considering he’s a ex-child actor and has a family history of severe mental illness. Ditto Sarah Polley with her jobbing actor parents.

Tell me about it, r76.
