Summary
This documentary directed by Mariska Hargitay examines the life of her late mother, Jayne Mansfield, who died in a car accident when Mariska was only 3 years old. Hargitay said, "This movie is a labor of love and longing. It's a search for the mother I never knew, an integration of a part of myself I'd never owned, and a reclaiming of my mother's story and my own truth."
