In the Parade section of this week's Boston Sunday Globe, there was an interview with an actress named Mariska Hargitay. She has a new show coming to ABC this fall called "Crackers," which will be in the same time slot as "Seinfeld." The article also mentioned that she once guested on "Seinfeld." Who did she play?
Michael Alexander
She auditioned for the role of Elaine for the pilot of the "Jerry" show. She made a crack about all the bald men auditioning for the part of George...something like, "It's like a bald convention out there." Then she notices George and says, "Sorry," to which Jerry replies, "That's all right. He knows he's bald."
Mariska Hargitay is the daughter of bombshell Jayne Mansfield. She played the woman who liked the "Dockers" pants commercials, while Jerry loathed them.
Her name was Donna something. km
