Yup. I didn't know that myself until one day I Googled her.

 

PS: LOVE her in SVU. I think it's great that she has carried the show after Christopher Meloni left. Would love to see Olivia Benson and Lily Rush (from Cold Case) team up.

I thought everyone knew & knew that she was in the car when Jayne was decapitated.

 

BTW, Mariska's daddy had a teeny tiny role in one of the first SVUs.

 

Mickey Hargitay was also Mr. Universe 1955 and died in 2006 at age 80.

Isn’t Jane Mansfield the actress that was decapitated in an accident?

There's a lot of information on the accident. Many people believe Me Mansfield's head was injured but nothing more.

 

I was drafted and induced in the Army the day after the car accident, so well remembered.

I believe Hargitay, in his muscle-builder prime, was also in a show with Mae West.

Live action character that is. Just about everyone on the symptoms has had a character for longer.

He had quite the physique especially for those times when steroids were less readily available.

FAKE NEWS!!!

 

Richard Belzer played John Munch for 7 seasons on HOMICIDE, then the first 14 seasons of SVU, so HE broke the record.

 

And if you want to get technical, he appeared once each in seasons 15 & 17, so that's 23 years of playing the character. SVU's been renewed for 3 more years, so she'll get to 24, but as a producer on the show, she'd better make sure he doesn't guest-star again.

 

Nobody will ever break his record of playing the same character on 10 different shows:

 

Homicide

SVU

Law & Order

The X-Files

The Beat

The Wire

30 Rock

Arrested Development

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

Law & Order: Trial By Jury (the Bebe Neuwirth spin-off that bombed... it had Jerry Orbach's last 2 appearances as Lenny... he was supposed to have a lighter load on the show, but died)
