Tonight’s episode of “Law & Order SVU” was directed by star Mariska Hargitay.
At the end of the show there was a card dedicating the episode to Richard Belzer, who died this week and played Det. John Munch for 15 seasons.
There was another tribute, too. Guest star Bradley Whitford said to Hargitay’s Olivia Benson as she left his hospital room: You have an ass like the devil and a face like Jayne Mansfield.”
Â
Screen siren Jayne Mansfield was Hargitay’s mother in real life. She died in a terrible car accident in June 1967 in New Orleans. She was just 33. She would be so proud of Mariska, now in her 23rd season of “SVU” and NBC’s biggest star.
