Overview

• Mariska Hargitay made her feature directorial debut on June 13 at Tribeca’s North American premiere of My Mom Jayne in New York City, joined by her husband, Peter Hermann, and their three children.
• Under her Mighty Entertainment banner, Hargitay’s HBO Original weaves archival footage with new interviews featuring Jayne Mansfield’s surviving children and relatives to revisit the star’s rise and tragic death.
• The film reveals that Italian singer Nelson Sardelli, not Mickey Hargitay, is Mariska’s biological father, and it chronicles her decades-long journey to confront him.
• Tribeca attendees included Hargitay’s extended family—among them half-sisters from Sardelli’s side—as well as her Law & Order: SVU co-stars and celebrity friends.
• My Mom Jayne is scheduled to air on HBO on June 27 at 8 p.m. ET and will be available to stream on HBO Max.
