Mariska Hargitay, director and producer of the documentary 'My Mom Jayne,' received her late mother Jayne Mansfield's grand piano as a surprise birthday gift. The emotional reveal, captured at a storage facility, marked a profound moment for Hargitay, who lost her mother at a young age in a tragic car accident. Throughout the process of obtaining the piano, Hargitay reached out to Engelbert Humperdinck's family, eventually leading to her husband securing the gift, enhancing the emotional significance of Hargitay's 60th birthday celebration and film premiere at Cannes.
"It was my first day of shooting, and Peter calls me because he took the kids home, he was flying back to New York with the kids, and he said, 'Mariska, get in the car right now. I have an Uber outside waiting.'"
"Oh my God," Hargitay exclaimed, overcome with emotion as she touched her mother's grand piano. "I can't believe you did this," she whispered, wiping away tears.
