Mariska Hargitay Reveals Shocking Discovery About Her Biological Father on "Call Her Daddy"

In a candid interview on the popular "Call Her Daddy" podcast, actress Mariska Hargitay shared a deeply personal and surprising revelation about her family history. Hargitay, known for her role in "Law & Order: SVU," recounted the moment she discovered the identity of her biological father. The actress explained that she was invited to the home of Sabin Gray, the head of the Jayne Mansfield fan club. Mansfield, Hargitay's mother, was an iconic sex symbol in the 1950s. Gray's home was described as a "museum or a shrine" dedicated to Mansfield, filled with photos, dresses, and jewelry. During the tour, Gray casually asked Hargitay, "Do you want to see a picture of Nelson?" Hargitay described feeling an immediate "jolt" through her body. She instinctively asked, "Who's Nelson?" At that moment, she "knew" the truth. Gray, visibly panicked, responded, "Oh, it's probably not true. It's probably not true." However, Hargitay's intuition proved correct, leading to the profound discovery about her biological lineage.
