Goodness — could Mariska Hargitay be any more gorgeous?! There really is something about the actress, and it goes far beyond her physical attributes, too.
Recently, photographers caught up with the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit dynamo as she and co-star Christopher Meloni filmed scenes for their hit series. The pair were both hard at work in New York City’s Central Park, a familiar location setting for the Big Apple-based series.
Although fans have to make do with SVU repeats for now, new episodes kick back in next week at 10pm EST on Tuesday, January 6. First up is …read more
