Mariska Hargitay on Being the Longest Running Female Character in a TV Drama

[@smileyfan16]

Mariska is a ray of sunshine and a unicorn. She is such a good person. I love her so much. She deserves everything.

[@hallmarkaddict8455]

100% facts!! 👏👏👏

[@mjrotondi5086]

Smileyfan16. You don't even know her. Idol worship is so corny. You know NOTHING about her, never have and never will. THIS IS AN ACTRESS, ACTING ON A TV TALK SHOW.

The way Mariska talks about her husband is so beautiful! That was truly a match made in heaven!! She’s a wonderful person all around

Drew is killing it with her talk show. This is her purpose, her time. A true transparent individual who hasn't let her past define her. Sending a lot of love, and continued success with the show, plus with everything you touch in life. Awesome human being 🙆‍♂️

Benson is one of the best and most influential characters to ever exist. Love her❤

[@alexandraanderson3988]

Agreed

[@moirasim7738]

Mariska is so authentic and vulnerable, which lends itself to receiving love. Kudos all around

[@AVintageNerd]

On my first date with my husband we stopped at St. Patrick’s Cathedral. We lite candles for our loved ones. He’s not a very religious man so it just made it extra special. We both felt pulled to go inside. 3 years later we married there. 17 yrs married now with three kids. He’s my favorite person. I feel very lucky and I wish that for everyone who wants it ❤️

I am so sorry about what you've gone through. Whatever it was, it never should've happened. I hope that you find the strength and support you need to deal with your trauma. It might not mean much coming from a stranger on the Internet, but I'm sending love and prayers to you.

[@bohobutterfly7911]

Amen to that!! Mariska deserves all the happiness, I wish her all the health & happiness for her!! Also, true about what Drew's done with her show. You're a ray of sunshine as well ❤️✌️

[@djstonedog]

Earlier this week I was watching a movie both her parents (Mickey Hartigay and Jayne Mansfield) were in called "Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter"...it was such a fantastic and very, very funny movie. Both were a delight to watch (go check it out you guys!). I can see where Marishka gets her talents and looks from. I wish her even more continued joy and success.

Can't imagine she's Jayne Mansfield's daughter.

Love her so much! I’ve watched this show from day one. She’s a bad ass! Love love love her! This show is awesome 😊 I love the fact that they always go the extra mile for the victims and usually justice is done! I kinda wanted to see her and Elliott Stabler get together as a couple but that would have messed up the whole storyline. But then again?

I tried, but just couldn’t keep watching after Chris left. The writing went downhill and the grittiness disappeared.

[@Garsons-oq4lh]

Fun fact: Gunsmoke (1955-1975) produced 635 episodes in its 20 seasons. SVU will not surpass that until the 19th episode of its twenty-ninth season. Due to the actors' strike season 25 will be short at 13 episodes but then if seasons 26-28 maintain a 22 episode count. However, because Mariska missed 6 episodes in season 8, she will not surpass 635 until the 3rd episode of season 30.
