That’s My Momma! 9 Famous Celebs With Even More Famous Parents (And Grandparents) We Didn’t Know About

Mariska Hargitay and Jayne Mansfield

An early Playboy playmate, Jayne Mansfield was all the rage in the late ’50s as an actress and “The Working Man’s Marilyn Monroe.” And after her untimely death in 1967 in a brutal car accident (Mariska and her brothers were actually in the car with her mother and her mother’s boyfriend during the accident), it seemed that her star was gone.
