Mariska Hargitay received a four-minute standing ovation at Cannes for her directorial debut, "My Mom Jayne," an HBO documentary about her mother, Jayne Mansfield. The film, Hargitay's first public exploration of her mother's life and legacy, reveals Hargitay's biological father is Italian singer Nelson Sardelli, not Mickey Hargitay, her mother's second husband. Hargitay, known for her role in "Law & Order: SVU," shared her emotional journey in making the film, celebrating its power to connect her to her mother.
