Mariska Hargitay doesn’t just play a detective on Law and Order: SVU—she also investigates her own life in the new HBO Max documentary My Mom Jayne.

The film sees Hargitay crack open decades-old boxes (with a crowbar, no less) to uncover the untold story of her late mother, 1950s Hollywood icon Jayne Mansfield. On this episode of The Run-Through, hosts Chloe and Margaux Anbouba—Vogue’s senior beauty and wellness editor—sit down with Hargitay to talk about grief, memory—and one of My Mom Jayne’s most startling revelations.
