Law & Order: SVU star Mariska Hargitay is a smart cookie, and she won’t step back from a challenge. Recently, she appeared in an interview where she was speaking about Los Angeles, but the correct pronunciation of it came up. So, who did she debate, and did she win? Keep reading for all of the details.
Mariska Hargitay Knows What She’s Talking About
Since 1999, Law & Order: SVU has been a massive hit and made Mariska Hargitay a household name. As Olivia Benson, she has flashed her badge and solved crimes, but she is also a very smart cookie. She recently appeared on Variety and CNN’s “Actors on Actors” series, where actors interview each other. They delve deep into their careers and ask the questions that viewers and themselves are desperate to know. Mariska was paired up with Oscar-winning actress Jamie Lee Curtis, making it an incredibly dynamic duo.
As the two women were going back and forth, the subject of how to pronounce ‘Los Angeles’ came up. Jamie Lee Curtis started chatting with Mariska and said this:
“You explained to me that you were making a doc, you had explained to me that you had come back to Los Angeles, you had gone through the beginning of the storage unit.”
That was when Mariska had to stop Jamie Lee in her tracks, tried not to laugh, and the two began to debate. It seems that they have been through this before. Jamie Lee appeared to equate the pronunciation with Los Feliz, with Mariska Hargitay, finally saying this:
“Yes, but we’re not talking about Los Feliz. … You don’t say ‘Los Angeles.’ If I had a jury here, everyone would vote for me.”
They attempted to get a consensus from the people on the set. Ultimately, it provided for a lighthearted moment between the extremely talented women.
