Mariska Hargitay Is Directing an HBO Documentary About Her Iconic Bombshell Mom Jayne Mansfield – And Yes, It’s Gonna Be EMOTIONAL™

Buy Me A Coffee

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: The queen of TV crime dramas, long-time Law & Order: SVU icon, and certified Boss Lady™, Mariska Hargitay is stepping behind the camera! And no, she’s not directing another gritty SVU episode titled “The Case of the Mysteriously Missing Latte”. She’s actually going deep — like therapy deep — in her very first feature documentary, and it’s as personal as it gets.

🎬 Title drop: The HBO doc is called “My Mom Jayne” (cue the tears, the nostalgia, and a whole lotta blonde bombshell realness). It’s dropping this June, so start emotionally preparing now. Tissue boxes on standby.

This isn’t your average “let’s dig into some archives and slap a voiceover on it” type of doc. Nope. This is Mariska’s epic quest to understand, connect with, and lovingly roast—uh, I mean, honor—her late mother, the legendary Jayne Mansfield, who basically invented glam before Instagram influencers were even a twinkle in the algorithm’s eye.

In a statement that feels like a hug and a mic drop at the same time, Mariska said:

Translation: this ain’t just a documentary. This is soul-searching meets Hollywood legacy meets HBO-worthy storytelling. Plus, there’s probably vintage pink convertibles and dramatic eyeliner.

For those new here: Jayne Mansfield was the blonde bombshell of the ’50s and ’60s — think Marilyn Monroe but with more sass, a higher IQ (literally), and a penchant for stealing the show everywhere. Tragically, Jayne passed away in a car accident in 1967 at just 34 years old. Little Mariska was only 3 years old at the time and actually surv the accident, along with two of her siblings. 😢

Now, decades later, Mariska is channeling that strength she’s always embodied on screen — but this time, in the director’s chair. Expect tears. Expect laughter. Expect vintage glamour. And most importantly, expect healing, hugs, and maybe a little fabulous drama (because duh, it’s HBO).

Coming this June. Prepare your emotions and your eyeliner.
