It seems the universe has a funny way of connecting people. Jamie Lee Curtis and Mariska Hargitay, two powerhouse actresses, recently discovered they’re kindred spirits.
Curtis shared photos of the pair on social media, radiating joy and laughter. She described the meeting as a long-awaited connection with her “soul sister,” noting the surprising paths their lives have taken, intertwining family, careers, and ultimately, friendship.
Curtis expressed her excitement for Hargitay’s upcoming HBO documentary about her mother, the iconic Jayne Mansfield, and praised Hargitay’s “continued brilliance” as Olivia Benson on Law & Order: SVU. Hargitay reciprocated the sentiment, sharing the post with the fitting tune “Reunited” playing in the background.
Fans were overjoyed by the news, with many expressing admiration for the two actresses. One commenter pointed out the shared legacy of their famous mothers, Janet Leigh and Jayne Mansfield, both prominent figures in Hollywood during the same era. Mansfield tragically died in a car accident in 1967, leaving behind a young Hargitay and two of her siblings, who survived the crash.
Hargitay’s documentary, My Mom Jayne, promises an intimate look into Mansfield’s life, exploring both her public image and private life through interviews, photos, and home movies. The film is set to premiere on HBO in June.
