She played the character perfectly with all her complexities and tragic background. That may seem surprising for a woman born into privilege. She’s the daughter of Jayne Mansfield and Mickey Hargitay. The family all lived in a pink palace for years until her mother and father divorced.
Losing them was her first taste of tragedy. She and her siblings narrowly escaped death in the accident that killed her mother. Her father died after years of fighting cancer. She also kept a secret for years that explained why she fit so well into her character. Mariska was raped when she was 30. A former friend pinned her down and refused to let her go. She eventually let the world know and felt a weight lifted off of her.

Mariska has managed to bring positive changes from tragedy, and not just in the ways it informed her character. She started a foundation for other survivors of all types of abuse. She also fights to raise awareness and protect their rights. She’s found love from her husband and her children. The happiness she feels today allows her to look back on her past in a healthier light. She honors her parents, speaks out about her past abuse, and serves as an example that any trauma can be overcome.
