After battling all manner of adversity – losing her mother at 3 years old, struggling with mountains of debt as a young woman – Mariska Hargitay felt blessed to find success on NBC's Law & Order: SVU. Which is why she's peeved that the show had to suffer to make room for Jay Leno's low-rated prime-time program.Being moved to 9:00 pm "ruined our numbers," the actress tells More magazine in its February issue. "Nobody knew when the show was on. Finally, we're starting to find our audience again."
She adds: "I hope we go back to where we belong. It was doing so well. Why mess with it?"
Hargitay, who turns 46 on Saturday, also touches on her personal life, from her family (she married actor Peter Hermann in 2004, and they have a 3-year-old son, August) to her self-image and financial worries.
She has a scar on her forehead from the 1967 car accident that took the life of her mother, '50s bombshell Jayne Mansfield. "She's definitely always with me," Hargitay says. "I love it when people say, 'She had such a great laugh, and so do you.' When I find similarities, it gives me so much peace."
