The Law and Order actress Mariska Hargitay, who suffered back-to-back injuries, was left with only one shoe to complete her outfits for months, but she is now finally recovering. After a star-studded screening of Marvel’s Black Widow in 2021, the actor broke her knee and also injured her ankle when she fell on a slick rainy street.
Hargitay battled on and finished filming her scenes for Law & Order, refusing to let her injuries have any say.
Mariska Hargitay, 59, the daughter of Hollywood legend Jayne Mansfield, mastered crisis management at a young age. The multigenerational talent is a fighter on and off screen; she was only three when her mother passed away.
When the 1966 Buick Electra rear-ended a tractor-trailer on June 29, 1967, Hargitay and her two brothers were asleep in the back seat. Her mother and the other two passengers in the front died instantly. “I think I learned about crisis when I was very young, and I learned very young that s— happens and there are no guarantees, and we keep going. Hargitay, who was named one of Glamour’s Women of the Year in 2021, said, “And then we transform it. Having experienced trauma early in life has been something of a superpower for Hargitay, who says, “That’s been kind of my superpower.”. The Law & Order franchise, which is second only to The Simpsons in terms of the longest-running primetime TV series, is where the multi-award-winning actor is best known for her starring role as Detective Olivia Benson.
In 2021, the star, then 57, was recovering from a broken knee and a hairline fracture in her ankle from May, and had only recently removed her brace when she slipped at the Marvel event, that was attended by guests like Black Widow star David Harbor, Drew Barrymore, Gayle King, Ellen Pompeo, Zachary Quinto, Donna Karan, Bruce Weber, and Brooke Shields, who recovering from a broken femur, ran to help Hargitay outside the Regal UA East Hampton Cinema. According to a source who spoke to Page Six, Mariska “took a tumble as she hurried to leave the screening to greet guests at her home. She was taken to Southampton Hospital by ambulance with her husband Peter Hermann. She spent several hours there, and she left with a bandaged leg. After midnight, when the party had largely ended, she finally returned to her home. The Emmy-winning actress and Hermann, of Younger fame, were hosting an after-party at their 11-bedroom mansion in East Hampton, which is close to the residences of Jon Bon Jovi, Martha Stewart, and Candace Bergman.
The source further stated, “Mariska was amazing.
She was more concerned that everything had gone smoothly and that everyone had a good time at the party than she was about herself. ”.
On July 6, Hargitay posted a photo of her bandaged right ankle on Instagram, along with a photo of her left foot wearing a beige Birkenstock sandal with shearling trim. Her message read, “My summer look.”. Melissa McCarthy, who starred in Bridesmaids, took to the streets of Los Angeles with a sign that read, “Honk if you’re PRAYING for Mariska Hargitay’s recovery,” in response to her friend’s injury. She later posted the video of her soliciting honks on her Instagram page. “Believe it or not, she sent me a longer video that was pretty epic. I was totally impressed. In an interview, Hargitay said, “I couldn’t even speak when I saw it. McCarthy is the most fun and creative person I know. She’s simply brilliant. She was absolutely mind-blowing; it was crazy. She is pure magic, that one. But despite having a broken ankle, Hargitay refused to stay in bed. Just a few weeks later, she was back at work and could be seen using crutches on the Law & Order set.
At the ceremony honoring Mariska Hargitay with a Star on The Hollywood Walk of Fame on November 8, 2013 in Hollywood, California, were Peter Hermann, his wife Mariska Hargitay, their daughter Amaya, and their sons Andrew and August. In an interview with People at the time, Hargitay mentioned her role as Detective Benson on SVU and said, “I am getting better every day and very excited to go back to work and keep the streets of New York City safe. “On May 2, 2023, the mother of three published a fresh Instagram video from in front of the Hospital for Special Surgery. “So, I just finished my follow-up visit with the doctor for my trimalleolar fracture—a fancy way of saying that I broke my ankle in three places—and I’m here at HSS. He gave me a clean bill of health and instructed me to act as though nothing ever happened. I just wanted to let you know that. Thanks to everyone for their support and care when it happened, HSS is awesome. When her followers saw her post, they chimed in with comments praising her progress.
