NEWSWEEK: DO you ever turn on the TV and say, “I can’t believe it’s on again.” HARGITAY: I was in Hawaii and I flipped on the TV and it was on. I was like, “Argh, I can’t get away from it.” I turned it off and ran outside and of course people were like, “Oh my God you’re on TV right now!”
But still, ka-ching. Don’t you get residuals? I don’t know. Probably.
What do you mean you don’t know? That’s how celebs get ripped off by their accountants. I don’t like to think that way.
Cops must love you. You must never get tickets. The cops in New York and L.A. have been, how shall I say, very patient. I’ve gotten a couple of warnings but they’ve been very gracious. There’s definitely a bond, a rapport, with law enforcement.
You had a baby at 42. What are the good things about being an older mom? I think you’re just old enough to get it and appreciate it. When I was younger I was so much more focused on my career, trying to get ahead, will I ever make it, blah, blah, blah. And now I get to focus on August as much as I can.
What are the downsides? The downside is I want to have five more.
Tick tock. Yeah, a little tick-tocking action at work here.
What about harder to bend down? Not yet, thank God.
You speak a couple of languages. I can get by. I grew up learning Italian and Hungarian because we spent our summers there. But I don’t use them as much.
Really? You don’t have much use to speak Hungarian? Exactly, right?
Would you say after Zsa Zsa you’re the most famous Hungarian actress? Without a doubt!
But then again, who’s your competition? You don’t have to mention that part!
