She does a great job of _acting_ that way. She doesn’t do a good job of _looking_ that way. Mostly due to the fact that she can’t overcome being _Mariska Fucking Hargitay_. She’s sexy when she’s tired, sexy when she’s angry, face it, she’s just fucking _sexy._ (And not in a Jayne Mansfield way either, except that she probably has the greatest rack on prime time tv. Hollywood’s generally not tolerant of serious characters with gazoinks.)
