15 Jun
Summary
- Curtis and Hargitay debated the pronunciation of 'Los Angeles'.
- They met briefly as children, connected through their famous parents.
- Hargitay's documentary on her mother Jayne Mansfield sparked their reunion.
Jamie Lee Curtis and Mariska Hargitay, scions of Hollywood royalty, recently shared a surprising personal anecdote: a debate over the pronunciation of "Los Angeles." Curtis, daughter of Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, and Hargitay, daughter of Jayne Mansfield, found common ground in their lineage.
Their connection dates back to childhood. Curtis revealed they met as children when Hargitay's family lived in a house previously owned by Sonny and Cher, which later became owned by Curtis's father. A photograph exists of them together in the driveway.
The actresses reconnected decades later, with Hargitay filming a documentary about her mother, Jayne Mansfield. This reunion allowed them to explore their shared, deeply rooted history in the entertainment industry, fostering an emotional connection built on unique, shared experiences.
