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.)
