The Unexpected Gift "Spectacular Life Force" Miley Cyrus Gave Mariska Hargitay
The Law & Order: SVU star and Cyrus have a very important love in common.
A June 5 Vanity Fair event sparked a sentimental first meeting between two TV icons.
In a June 7 Instagram post, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit star Mariska Hargitay shared a black-and-white photo of someone she's been wanting to meet for a long time: Miley Cyrus. Fortunately, the moment was thoroughly documented, as both women embraced in a giant hug.
"We met, and then there I was, talking with the beautiful, open, real, spectacular life force that you are. You gave me the gift of telling me about the role that @mymomjayne plays in your life. She would be thrilled to know that. ✨One of her favorite roles, I promise you. Thank you Miley. You are truly Something Beautiful," Hargitay captioned her post.
Cyrus replied with an equally-as-beautiful message: "Friends for life, bonded by our love for JM. So glad me and my mama could celebrate you and yours."
Hargitay has been promoting her documentary, My Mom Jayne, for the past few weeks now. In the film, Hargitay seeks to reconnect with her mother, Hollywood bombshell Jayne Mansfield, who died in a car accident when Hargitay was only 3 years old. From her words, it's clear Cyrus has a love for Mansfield that Hargitay was thrilled to learn.

"My mother was this amazing, beautiful, glamorous sex symbol — but people didn't know that she played the violin and had a 160 [of] IQ and had five kids and loved dogs," Hargitay explained to People in 2018. "She was just so ahead of her time. She was an inspiration, she had this appetite for life, and I think I share that with her."
