She is also the daughter of actress Creator/JayneMansfield and actor/bodybuilder Creator/MickeyHargitay (who was Mansfield's second husband and the most well-known out of the three). The three-year-old Mariska was asleep in the back seat during her mother's fatal car crash, and was left with a scar on her face. She's since been adamant that she does ''not'' want to ever talk about it or her mother's legacy. It was only until she got married with three kids that she understood what it was like to be an actor and a parent, according to her in recent interviews.
