Mariska Hargitay Rewatches 'Law & Order: SVU' from Seasons 1 to 25 | Vanity Fair

[@joshifereverlark8605]

The way she got teary eyed over her friendship with Chris, and also working with Robin Williams 😭She's such a treasure.

[@bigdog3628]

so it aint just me who needs to find the dang ninjas cutting onions near by huh?

[@FRED-sr4me]

Robert Williams the actor comedian that died when he hung himself she worked with him when?

[@claudinefaure9090]

​@@FRED-sr4me as Meryl Roorke, he wants a revenge because his wife passed away. Based on the Milgram experiences

[@DoubleOhTheG]

She has such a kind and soft heart

[@mitsukai7192]

She gave that emotional, powerful, Emmy award winning performance without the actual girl's voice acting out the lines?? A supervisor was reading them off camera?? That's INSANE! 👏👏

[@naschellep]

AMAZING!!

[@Chrispy9393]

I cannot believe it's been 25 years. I've literally been watching this show since I was 5. That's incredible.

[@Chrispy9393]

now that i watched the whole video, honestly they could make this a series and let Mariksa run down memory lane. I'd watch that. She's great.

[@JackieIsAPunk25]

It’s so wild. I was 9 when SVU first started and now I’m about to turn 34 😬

[@debraethan8920]

5???? That IS incredible.

[@themustar601]

You were watching this show when you were five?! That’s too young for SVU

[@elinorharrison2798]

I mean, I wasn’t born when the show started, but now it is my favorite!

[@jillianbamford4097]

why we making her cry in every interview like baby girl needs some peace

[@PurpleToni]

😭🥹

[@bridgetbinion8494]

Why do we always need to bring up the Lewis episodes 😭

[@theKeshaWarrior]

It is insane to me how I can place all of these episodes with different times of my life over the years.

[@HisNameIsEL]

It's a beautiful timeline

[@brookeholman8761]

Facts

[@MrSuzuki17]

I watched Law & Order because of Mariska. This was basically my childhood. I always love Olivia Benson.

[@cesarpmaia]

she's a mother figure to me... an icon

[@alyssa4009]

her friendship with chris is just so adorable it brings a tear to my eye too 😭

[@ChristianR-i3g]

Mariska was my tv mom for a little while. My mom was awesome. We struggled, and she wasn't always there for what i needed her for, but Mariska really filled in the blanks for a bit. Watching her solve cases with such intensity and compassion was a comfort when I couldn't solve why we were at where we were at at the time. That being said my mom and I are so much better off since then and things are only getting better despite everything we've been through, and are going through. Much love to Mariska and the Law and Order team.

[@BetteDavis19]

SAME. i understand

[@Pinkv_edits]

Omg I can relate sm I thought I was weird for this I’m 19😭💀

[@sharonhayoung5157]

Mariska could spend a few hours commenting on the episodes of svu, I love listening to her talk!!

[@Jennifer-jt9cb]

Robin Williams was not only the godfather of stand up comedy, He was also one of the greatest actors who ever lived. He was talented in more ways than I can even count. The world lost a true treasure when he died. Rest In Peace Robin. I hope you find the tranquility that evaded you in your later years. You are and always will be missed.

[@virtuoso8642]

Protect Mariska at all costs. She’s so human and it’s nice seeing someone really feel and be connected to their experiences. Super empathetic. It’s what makes her a great actress. I could’ve watched this for 2 hours.

[@teztheis3654]

I've been wanting to hear her talk about working with Pablo for a while. Like, those scenes were terrifyingly brutal and I'm really glad that the directors didn't just push through regardless of who got hurt, accidentally or otherwise, and instead allowed her the time and space to actually feel safe. I've heard way too many horror stories of the entertainment industry where that consideration wasn't given.

[@carolineroellinghoff377]

you can see her demeanor change talking about that episode

[@bridgetbinion8494]

I don't know why, but I just love that she speaks so highly of Pablo.

[@jaymie-leacollingwood2753]

@@carolineroellinghoff377the way she flinches 🥺

[@DoubleOhTheG]

I remember I saw a pic of the two of them in between takes during that scene. They were totally goofing off together

[@cedelynn7176]

“HE’S SO MONEY” I love that😂

[@c.a.5604]

She seems like a very graceful person.

[@blaisearwyn3405]

Olivia Benson is one of the best characters to ever grace our televison screens. Thank you MH!

[@JackieIsAPunk25]

I love that the last episode they had her watch was Authority. Watching my all time favorite actor (Robin) guest star in my all time favorite actress’s show is EVERYTHING considering how huge of an impact they’ve both had on my life ❤❤

[@heartbrakermj9467]

Mariska crying and cursing i love her 😭

[@Weej_LR]

Love how she puts over all her scene co-stars. She’s one of the best to ever do it!

[@andydv27]

My best friend Christina is the one who actually put me on to Law and Order: SVU! She's a huge Mariska Hargitay fan!! I'm loving it!!

[@heartbrakermj9467]

What episode of svu were you on

[@ILoveGreysonChance97]

Mariska-I should’ve won an Emmy just for that. Me-She deserves an Emmy for every freakin’ season she was in.

[@DoubleOhTheG]

What's interesting is that she hasn't been nominated since 2011

[@EmilyKresl]

I could watch her watch SVU for 25 seasons! Everything she says is eloquent, honest and humble. We love you Mariska!!! You're one of my favorite actresses to cry with

[@Risgolden]

I turn 25 this year😢 been watching this show since I was 7. Crazy how Olivia raised me 😭

[@kayleighkimberley7783]

this needs a part 2,3,4 to infiniity as 12 mins was way to short

[@meherghufran5795]

Agreed!!

[@b.c.eckhoff3495]

Love how affected she still is by some of the scenes.

[@AmberLynBigelow]

The way she describes Robin Williams is how we feel about her and Olivia Benson.

[@justjuli3t]

Season 6-9 are my favourite seasons and will always have a special place in my heart it was my childhood and what i grew up watching here in Australia

[@SimplyRaecosmetics]

She's making me cry😢 I love this show, but she's really the heart

[@Itsgonnabemayy]

That scene with stabler and benson always has and always will give me goosebumps, I’ve seen it a million times and still always gets me

[@DravenGal]

Just amazing. And I loved hearing her talk about Robin Williams, that he was everything he seemed to be. That's my favorite episode. I would also have liked to know what it was like working with Carol Burnett. That's my second favorite episode, and it was a bonus that Matthew Lillard was in it, I love him!💙

[@forestofthings]

I've started watching Law and Order when I was 12 and never missed an episode. Was so excited for Law and Order SVU and fell madly in love with it since the first episode, back in 1999. I've seen every episode of SVU, some even more than once. Olivia and Elliott were my childhood heroes. Mariska, you're larger than life and have affected my life tremendously. Thank you for this emotional and genuine review. You got me all teary eyed for your passion and pure talent.

[@Lily-hf1eo]

You just have to love her she’s like one of the best people that I haven’t met but you can just tell she such a amazing person ❤❤

[@ignaechazarreta2750]

Ugh she’s so precious

[@francostevo9939]

I never even know who this woman was and didn’t get into law and order until 3 yrs ago. Been watching ever since.

[@veronikawadhwa998]

Mariska talking about Robin Williams at 10:40 made me cry

[@Krissyloveem]

That first discovery with the Maria episode was interesting. That child actress was great ! Loved that episode !

[@joseround551]

Season 9 Episode 17 25:11 ‘We are here to celebrate the unexpected - we resume to conform - we embrace chaos’ followed by a lil pillow fight outside

[@LeandroBudugo]

I love to see SUV going to mainstream. Apparently, the whole world discovered the show and her amazing talent and now everyone is talking about it. For me, a truly fan of the show, is pure joy!! She is amazing!!

[@Lily-hf1eo]

It’s definitely “DUN DUN “ wonder who’s saying clink clink ???? ………the episode 911 was so cute yet sad definitely cried while watching

[@genikki]

I've always said "tan tan". But it makes sense in my language 😅

[@ruthgomes3329]

y'all please just give Mariska all the Emmys existent in this world, to me she is the one who deserves them all and i don't care what anybody says.

[@farahishaq7375]

I need 3 more hours of this please 🙏

[@Idaniko25]

or even more....

[@eitacffuc]

She's an incredible actress and person 💙

[@KingApe69]

I love her and some of the clips chosen are some of my favorites

[@usedtobemyself]

Binged 25 seasons in the last 2 months, I'm hooked, I feel like I've known her all my life

[@ibl82]

I'm working through them now

[@DE0BIZONE]

she's pure magic. a once in a lifetime talent and a truly lovely person, you can tell. obsessed with her always. i dread the day svu ends or she leaves.

[@mollykatherine1635]

The fact she knows the name of every actor she's played against in the show. She is simply the best!

[@BethTessier]

This was so enjoyable. As a lifelong Mariska/SVU fan, thank you for this!

[@nicholaspoole199]

Omg love love love Mariska to peices and I still love watching SVU cause of the acting chemistry both Chris and Mariska had on screen .it was just magical

[@cche16]

i grew up with benson and stabler. law & order: svu raised me.

Over the 25 years of SVU, I have watched and re-watched it several times. And of course because of Mariska. I love Olivia Benson very much. I love them both. ♥♥

I love that she speaks so highly of Pablo.

[@bridgetbinion8494]

I just noticed that when the William Lewis clip popped up, her demeanor clearly shifted. More nervous.

[@IGraceLeila]

I would never have thought they actually put the other actors under dirt (2:31), thought they just had the foot under dirt and the rest of the actor uncovered off screen! It doesn’t seem that safe, no matter how superficially deep!

[@highnoon907]

Thank you Mariska!
