Born in Budapest, Hungary, Hargitay moved to the United States in 1947, where he eventually became a citizen. He was married to Jayne Mansfield, and is the father of actress Mariska Hargitay.

Biography

Hargitay's first marriage was to Mary Birge, with whom he had a daughter, Tina Hargitay (b. 1949). Hargitay and Birge divorced on September 6, 1956.

Hargitay and Jayne Mansfield met in 1956, when he was performing in The Mae West Show at the Latin Quarter. The couple married on January 13, 1958. They had three children: Miklós Jeffrey Palmer Hargitay (b. December 21, 1958), Zoltán Anthony Hargitay (b. August 1, 1960), and Mariska Magdolna Hargitay (b. January 23, 1964). Hargitay remodeled much of his and Mansfield's Beverly Hills mansion, known as "The Pink Palace", building its famous heart-shaped swimming pool. In November 2002, the house was razed by developers who had purchased it from Engelbert Humperdinck.

In May 1963, Hargitay and Mansfield filed for divorce in Juarez, Mexico. The divorce was ruled invalid, and the two reconciled in October 1963. After Mariska's birth, Mansfield sued for the Juarez divorce to be declared legal, and ultimately won. The divorce was recognized in the United States on August 26, 1964. After Mansfield's death in a car crash on June 29, 1967, Hargitay sued Mansfield's estate for over $5,000 to support the children. In their divorce decree, Mansfield had agreed to pay child support, as well as to give Hargitay approximately $70,000 in cash and property.

Hargitay married again in September 1967 to Ellen Siano. Siano and Hargitay remained married for 39 years, until his death.

Arnold Schwarzenegger played the role of Mickey Hargitay in the 1980 TV-movie The Jayne Mansfield Story.

Herbert Lyutak est un psychologue spécialisé dans le domaine de la criminologie, et de ce fait il collabore régulièrement avec la police. Mais ce dernier est également un tueur en série amateur de jeunes femmes. Il vient de commettre son septième crime en l'espace d'un an. Impuissant avec son épouse Marzia, il retrouve sa virilité à travers ses pulsions sadiques qui le poussent à commettre des crimes. Frigide et vierge, Marzia trouve du réconfort dans les bras de son amie lesbienne Joaquine et sa bonne. Pourtant, l'étau se resserre autour de son mari. En fouillant dans ses affaires, Marzia découvre un linge tâché de sang, confirmant ce qu'elle avait deviné : il est un meurtrier. Quant à lui, alors qu'il seconde la police sur les meurtres qu'il a lui-même commis, un témoin le met en danger. Le patron d'un rade au juke-box, dans lequel Lyutak a fait connaissance avec sa dernière victime avant de partir avec elle, vient témoigner et assure que le psychiatre lui a proposé de la conduire chez elle. Désormais suspect, il est serré par ses collègues policiers. Mais, très vite, un nouveau meurtre va le sortir de cette mauvaise posture. Une jeune femme est retrouvée étranglée dans une cabine téléphonique. Possédant un alibi en béton, puisqu'il était en compagnie des policiers au moment du meurtre, Lyutak décide de mener sa propre enquête pour démasquer le deuxième tueur qui s'inspire de son modus operandi pour assassiner ses victimes. Pendant ce temps, une indic de la police, Dorothée Heindrich, retrouve un couteau appartenant Lyutak mais elle est sauvagement tuée lors d'un jeu sado-masochiste.
