Mariska Hargitay on Naming Her Cat After Taylor Swift's "Karma" and 25 Years of Law & Order: SVU

[@lolRhiannon]

The impact Mariska and her show has made on the culture around assault on women, women taking control of their lives and bodies - she changed the game and has done so for decades.

[@doublefeature]

thank you for mentioning this! she does such amazing things behind the scenes w/ victims. so many people could have just left this as an acting job but she has such a great heart.

[@kayleenward5526]

OLIVIA is my girl crush❤😅 and I love that there's also been some episodes about men being victims of assault or abuse. That's something that doesn't get brought to the table enough. And the awareness exposing how child predators work their young victims is gutwrenching yet educational. I've watched reruns over and over and over again & it still never ever gets old!!! Love me some OLIVIA BENSON 💕

​@@kayleenward5526she's my girl crush too❤

[@myrddinmekel206]

I don't know if you've seen other recent interviews. If not, please do because I think that the reason why she didn't leave her acting job is also partly because of a personal experience.

[@maggmail6]

Well said!!

[@sharonshin4574]

Awesome interview with Mariska!! Can’t believe she is sixty!! She is GORGEOUS!! Love Law and Order SVU!!! Her cat is cute. Karma is a pretty name.

Something else her husband did for her 60th was to repair and restore her mother's old piano as a gift. There is a photo of Jayne both at the piano and also the piano restored at the venue Mariska's party was held. Such a beautiful gesture for her husband to do on such an important milestone.

[@m.g.7475]

Jesus, he's a dreamboat for that. Nevermind his double handsomeness.

[@CraigMcfly1985]

Peter was smart to do that for her 60th.

[@Ritapita73]

Mariska is every bit the Goddess her mother was. L&O is life.

[@gergemall]

Yes ❤

And the Governator was her TV movie dad…

[@PeggyCourtrightpacsnc]

Beautiful woman!!

[@777butterscotch]

What a sweet soul she makes me so happy

[@doublefeature]

ICON. mom was an icon, she's an icon. protect her at all costs. she does so much great work behind the scenes w/ victims. we have tvs playing at work and i have been watching the marathon USA is doing w/ SVU. have so many people come in and be like 'SVU? love it.' she's BELOVED.

[@4_my_ambition]

I always felt connected to Mariska because of her moms accident happening in my home town and to see her hit these big milestones after tragedy at a young age is truly wonderful.

[@wishingonthemoon1]

Omg I love her so much. She’s gorgeous, kind, and just a boss.

[@jademeyer8155]

I'm 26 years old and started watching SVU last year and am obsessed.

[@susanbarkdoll2575]

When my pregnant daughter-in-law was stabbed repeatedly in broad daylight in a park, jeopardizing the lives of her 3-year-old toddler and unborn child, her only thoughts that maintained her strength were Olivia Benson's lines from SVU. That show has done SO much for women. I hope she realizes the great things she has down. Thank you and keep the hope going.

[@charlottegordon8959]

Oh my god. I hope she’s ok. I can’t imagine 😢

[@seanohall1201]

Met her last year when I was working on Blue Bloods and she is this genuine in real life at work. This woman is an absolute gem

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

Awesome interview love mariska she is one of most beautiful women on tv so real, and genuine love her spirit been watching Law ,and order SVU for years shes definitely doesnt look like shes almost 60 she don't look a day over 40 congratulations on the 25th season👏🏽👏🏽❤.

[@shahartley]

I met her before. She's one of the most genuine people around.

[@Bernicemarie]

The fact that Mariska named her cat after Taylor (after Taylor named her cat after Mariska’s character) is so sweet. Mariska is an icon and does so much behind the scenes and cares for victims ❤

[@javierav8930]

She’s the one person I would be completely starstruck to see

[@Annapurna818]

My favourite actress.

[@heathermiller5765]

Mine too! 😁 Season to season, the cast of SVU as a whole has been great, and she still stands out. Absolutely love her 🥰

[@emilyo.5309]

I'm 35 and started watching Law and Order and Law and Order SVU kind of young. I've grown up with SVU. Love her as Olivia so much!

She seems like such a down to earth person and I love me some Law & Order…all of them!!! Love that interaction with she and Taylor and her cat is beautiful!!!

[@Snippets-of-Mendi]

Awe... I couldn't click on this video fast enough. Such a fan of Mariska. In fact, every time my husband and I visit NYC from Washington State I am constantly on the lookout hoping to run into filming. Happy 60th Birthday Mariska! You look better than ever! ❤

[@victorianovak7479]

Mariska is the best. She is my hero on and off screen

[@JuicyCarolime]

Seeing her be a happy human outside of her character literally makes me cry. I love her so much and she deserves so much happiness for everything shes done for us!

SHES AMAZING AND DESERVES THE WORLD. I went down the rabbit whole of other interviews and I feel her energy and voice don't change. she's so lovely.

[@theglamourghoul5308]

She is just so lovely. 🥰

[@kt9166]

Mariska is so fortunate to be doing exactly what she loves, with people she loves, and for 25 years! And SVU has eclipsed the flagship series in that it stands for empowering women and children. I know Dick Wolf is proud of what they have done and will continue to do. Mariska and Ice will travel together into TV history together.

[@klarakrumel7299]

I can't 😭❤️ This QUEEN and her gorgeous husband, this family, this is so LIFEGOALS ❤❤❤

[@IzzaMeanCat]

So proud of her. She is a shining example of what you can accomplish without having a sexist, expose everything kind of character image nor an image like that in real life. She keeps it classy. Someone for young ppl to look up to.

[@lamindy]

It's so pleasantly weird to see her all playful and frolicy here when her Law and Order character is so serious. I love it!

[@KennyMrTerrellThisIsTheWay2024]

I love Mariska Hargitay ❤ She's been my favorites since I've been a baby Literary she's the reason I've been watching the show for a long time and I'm still working on trying to meet her and I did sober her birthday on social media and I do have a cat my first cat I named her mother after her but sadly she passed but I promised her child would be safe and she still is right now so I can't believe she has a cat nonsense Taylor named a cat after her detective Olivia Benson that's cute😻
