OMG -- Mariska Hargitay!

I just love her character on "Law and Order"...

And I'm watching an old ER rerun last night, and the ditzy desk clerk who is having an affair with Mark Green reminds me of someone I've seen before...

Yep, Mariska -- with long hair, but it was definitely her.

I love her character too. Wow, I had no idea that was her. I don't watch ER reruns much but I'll have to check it out next time I do.

I remember her most with long hair. I was sort of shocked when I saw her look on L&O. I will never forget when her Mother, Jayne Mansfield died and knowing she was in the car with her. As a kid I felt so bad for her. So glad to see she's made it on her own.

I knew the minute I saw her on ER was Mariska. I remember hearing about her mothers death as well, but I'm not sure if that happened before/after my birth. (I'm not sure if it was a TV movie, or the news or what)

Its amazing she doesn't look anything like her mom.

I love love her character on SVU.

When she first began acting she was a regular on Falcon Crest with Jane Wyman, Susan Sullivan, Robert Foxworth and Lorenzo Lamas. She played a rough around the edges, ditzy character.

She's one of my favorite L&O characters. Isn't CI on tonight? Can't wait!

Thats so funny I was just watching a rerun of ER on Friday and thought the same thing. I love SVU and catch it every night its on USA. Wish I could stay up late enough to watch it on its normal night but I will take the reruns if its all I can get.Was so happy last night to see back to back episodes from 7-11 with the last being a CI episode.

She was on Seinfeld once too. She played one of the "Elaine" characters when they were auditioning people for the "Jerry" Sitcom.

I'm pretty sure she also starred opposite Nancy McKeon in a sitcom several years ago but I can't remember the premise of the show. I just remember her with long hair and of course her name since it is unusual.
