Ahead of the ‘My Mom Jayne’ premiere, Mariska Hargitay has recalled early memories of Jayne Mansfield.

She added, “It’s been a life of longing for her and trying to reconstruct connection.”

Revealing her longing for Jayne Mansfield, the Hollywood actor said that the death of her mother felt like having a hole in her heart.
