In the documentary 'My Mom Jayne,â Mariska Hargitay reveals that her biological father is Nelson Sardelli, not Mickey Hargitay, as she believed. This revelation came after she saw a photograph of Sardelli, leading to a profound emotional response. Hargitay struggled with her relationship with her late mother, actress Jayne Mansfield, and expressed feelings of embarrassment about her motherâs public persona. The documentary offers Hargitay a chance to explore her family history and provide insight into her feelings about her identity and relationships, which have remained largely private until now.
