Not long after Mariska Hargitay began portraying sex crimes investigator Olivia Benson on Law & Order: SVU 21 years ago, she realized how much the tough and compassionate NYPD officer had struck a chord with many who watched.
“I was quickly educated about how this show was affecting people,” the Emmy and Golden Globe winner told TV Guide Magazine in 2018. The tone of the fan mail and the encounters she had with viewers were unlike anything she’d experienced. “People would say, ‘Thank you…I’ve never told anyone before [about my sexual abuse],'” continued Hargitay. “It’s always been a personal connection.”
It’s one that goes beyond what we see on TV: Through her Joyful Heart Foundation, Hargitay has raised millions of dollars to end the national backlog of untested rape kits. A hero on- and offscreen!
Law & Order: SVU, Season 22, Fall 2020, NBC; stream Seasons 1–21 on Hulu and select episodes on nbc.com
