Mariska Hargitay reveals Nelson Sardelli is her biological father

The 61 -year -old star “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” reveals in her new documentary “My Mother Jayne” that her biological father is actually the Italian singer Nelson Sardelli, not Mickey Hargitay, the man who raised her.

According to Vanity Fair, Hargitay said in the film, who had its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on May 17 that it was “when the floor fell out” when she saw a photo of Sardelli in the 20s and immediately knew that he was her biological father.

Mariska Hargita’s mother, the late actress Jayne Mansfield, was romantically involved in 1963 with Sardelli while she left Mickey Hargitay. Mansfield and Hargitay reconciled towards the end of 1963, and Mariska Hargitay was born in January 1964.

She remembered having told him: “I don’t want anything, I don’t need anything from you … I have a father. ‘” However, she said that she would develop a connection to Sardelli that appears in the film in front of the camera.
