Law & Order SVU star Mariska Hargitay makes her directorial debut with a deeply personal documentary about her late mother, Jayne Mansfield. The two-hour film, “My Mom Jane,” premiered at the Cannes Film Festival last month and is now available to stream on HBO Max.
The documentary explores Mansfield’s life as a Hollywood legend in the 1950s, featuring interviews with family members, home movies, and archival photos. Hargitay aims to understand her mother’s career and legacy, which influenced her own aspirations.
A surprising revelation in the film is that Mickey Hargitay, Mariska’s late biological father, is not her biological father. This bombshell was kept secret for over 30 years.
“My Mom Jane” airs exclusively on HBO Max on June 27, 2025, at 8 p.m. ET/PT. The documentary can be streamed on HBO Max or subscribed to through Prime Video starting at $9.99/month.
