Mariska Hargitay is channeling the era of classic Hollywood. Hargitay, a mainstay of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit since 1999, has given fans a major dose of nostalgia with her latest photo that channels both the Golden Age of Hollywood - literally, with that sunset hue - and Hargitay's famous mom, Jayne Mansfield. Hargitay is very familiar with being told she looks like Mansfield, who died in a brutal car crash when Mansfield was 34 and Hargitay just three. "Someone once said about my mother: ‘All you have to do is look in the mirror,'" Hargitay shared, adding, "She’s with me still."
