On Friday, tons of celebrities flocked to Carnegie Hall to celebrate the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of My Mom Jayne: A Film by Mariska Hargitay.

Mariska was just 3 years old when her mom, Hollywood actor and former Playboy Playmate Jayne Mansfield, died in a car accident in 1967. Mariska created this documentary as a way to discover more about the mother she barely knew.

“This movie is a labor of love and longing,” Mariska told Variety. “It’s a search for the mother I never knew, an integration of a part of myself I’d never owned, and a reclaiming of my mother’s story and my own truth. I’ve always believed there is strength in vulnerability, and the process of making this film has confirmed that belief like never before.”
