Mariska Hargitay — best known to Law & Order fans as SVU’s tough-as-nails Olivia Benson — steps off the mean streets of crime TV for a cover story on the pages of the February issue of More Magazine, arriving on newsstands Jan. 26th.
The cover girl — who recently recovered from suffering a collapsed lung after a work-related injury — chats about the late night shakeup at home network NBC, financial woes, and her late mother, sex symbol Jayne Mansfield.
Mariska On The Hollywood Pressure To Be Beautiful: “I think I’m a very attractive person, but I don’t put myself in the realm of the beauty. That’s not where I get my esteem. I’m a size 8, and I feel proud of that, because it’s healthy. I’ve never felt compelled to be a skinny actress,” Mariska reveals. “A guy at ABC told me to change my name and get a nose job. I said, ‘You get a nose job.’”
Mariska Remembers Mom Jayne Mansfield: “I can never compete, so I don’t try. It’s mega über, it’s legendary, it’s iconic. Being a sex symbol is not my thing; it’s not where I shine.”
Mariska’s Joyful Heart Foundation for Survivors of Sexual Assault: “Doing something about it takes away some of my sadness. We can get closer to cures by shining a light on [the abuse]. I liken it to what happened with AA 15 years ago, where there’s not a stigma to it. We’d love to see that happen to sexual assault.”
Mariska On Money Woes: “I constantly worry about money. I make a lot now, but I don’t feel that way, because I was poor and had no money for a lot longer than I’ve had it,” she said. “As an actor, if this show ends next year, then what? As an aging woman, then what? I’m saving money to live on, for the future. There are not that many roles for women, and I’ve been blessed with one of the great ones.”
How Did Leno’s Move From Late Night To Primetime Impact SVU’s ratings: “It ruined our numbers. The first four episodes, we were considerably down because nobody knew when the show was on. Finally, we’re starting to find our audience again…..I hope we go back to where we belong. It was doing so well. Why mess with it?”
