Mariska Hargitay Felt 'Magic' Bond w/ Chris Meloni Immediately

Mariska Hargitay is going into her 25th season of "Law & Order: SVU"! Ahead of the landmark season, the actress told Access Hollywood guest correspondent Emily Orozco about hitting such a milestone and how she feels "strong in a new way" this year: "The lessons that I've been learning my whole life – but also for 25 years on this show – have started to land." Mariska also detailed the "magic" of the onscreen chemistry between her and her longtime screen partner Christopher Meloni – who has recurred his role as Elliot Stabler on "SVU" in recent seasons – and how "grateful" she is for their journey. She also detailed what she loves about her co-stars Ice-T, Peter Scanavino, Octavio Pisano and Kelli Giddish and shared how much fun they have on set. Ice-T also chatted with Access, reflecting on his friendships with his co-stars – and how he’s been known to fall asleep on set! "Law & Order: SVU" returns for Season 25 on Jan.18 at 9/8c.

Mariska Hargitay is an amazing woman. Her Joyful Hearts Foundation has done so much good. She takes her role seriously. She has helped so many people. She is a humble icon.

Benson and Stabler were the heart and soul and why we can say we have SVU 25 and OC 4. Their allurement is contagious and why the casts have kept SVU going led by Mariska today and OC led by Chris.

I like my strength...i like my tomboy side...thats what confuses them about me.
It helps me be strong and amicable like men are naturally...women are more critical than the average male...i love men disposition.. unassuming and open to whatever usually....they have to be reminded sometimes to be responsible...i like their freedom that i dont see in most women...but i do not want to be a man...i love the heterosexual dynamic...how God intended it to be..

Isn't she Jane Mansfield"s daughter ?
