The turning point comes as Law and order: SVU turns 25
“I didn’t get the role [on SVU] until I was 35, and then the show continued as I got older,” Hargitay said. “At the age of 45, we were together for ten years and I just met my husband [Peter Hermann]. The man of my dreams. I got married at 40. I had August [her eldest son] at 42. It was like defying all odds.”
Therefore, when it came to turning 60, she added: “I have never been afraid of age.”
