Olivia Benson, excuse us, Mariska Hargitay, is now part of history.
The Smithsonian has acquired Mariska Hargitay’s Costume From ‘Law & Order: SVU.’ By ‘costume,’ they mean jacket and gold detective’s badge.
Still, it’s an honor to be in the long-standing history museum.
Currently in its 26th season, it is the longest-running live-action series in prime time on American television. And Hargitay’s Benson has been with the show since the beginning in 1999.
In 2006, she became the first regular actor in the series to win an Emmy (Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series.)
