Newsmaker: Mariska Hargitay Mariska Newsmaker: Mariska Hargitay Mariska Hargitay is known to many as Det. Olivia Benson of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Her works off-screen helping victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse are more noteworthy, though less known. In 2004, Hargitay founded the Joyful Heart Foundation to “to heal, educate and empower survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse and to shed light into the darkness that surrounds these issues.” http://www.joyfulheartfoundation.org/ourprograms.htm The Foundation’s mission is directly linked to Hargitay’s role on SVU; her fan letters included many from victims who reached out to her and spoke of the violence they had suffered. http://www.joyfulheartfoundation.org/ourstory.htm Hargitay was moved to help, both by providing resources and by using her celebrity to advocate for victims. Hargitay was born in Los Angeles in January 1964 to actress/sex symbol Jayne Mansfield and Mickey Hargitay, an actor, body-builder and former Mr. Universe. (You may recall the 1980 movie The Jayne Mansfield Story, which starred Loni Anderson as Mansfield and Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mickey Hargitay.) In addition to Mariska, Mansfield and Hargitay had two sons together. The three children they shared were in the car during the June 1967 accident that took Mansfield’s life, as well as the lives of her boyfriend and the driver. Mariska, 3 ½ at the time, was left with a scar on her face. As with most actresses, Hargitay held a number of roles before winning the one that defines her career. She began with beauty pageants and music videos in the early 1980s, before being cast opposite Christopher Meloni in SVU in 1999. SVU has been successful for more than a decade, and Hargitay has agreed to a deal for a 13th Season. In 2004, Hargitay married Peter Hermann, whom she met on the SVU set. Hermann has a recurring role as a defense attorney. Together, they have a son, born in June 2006, and a daughter, adopted in April 2011.

Todd, Supervisor Thomas M. Hunt Marlene A. Dixon Joan H. Neuberger Janet M. Davis Flex Marks the Spot: Histories of Muscle Beach by Tolga Ozyurtcu, B.A.; M.S. Kin. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin August 2014 Dedication To memory of my mother, my first reader. To my father: nereden nereye. Acknowledgements If there is one person responsible for this project, it is my father, Huseyin Ozyurtcu. For over thirty years, he has been my biggest influence and my best friend. Together with my late my mother, he taught me to love knowledge, think independently, and trust my instincts. In his love and unwavering support, I have found the strength and confidence to be myself. I owe him everything. I am also very grateful for my stepmother Vanessa, my brother Marcos, and my sister Yasmin. It has been almost ten years since our families came together and I cannot imagine life without them—to be in their presence is to know how good life can be. I consider myself fortunate to have had the support of Dr. Jan Todd since I began my graduate education in 2008. As my dissertation advisor, Dr. Todd gave me the freedom, encouragement, and feedback necessary to complete a large and ambitious project.

  • LGBTQ Episodic Television Study Guide
    Archive Study Guide: LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL AND TRANSGENDER TELEVISION: SITCOMS AND EPISODIC DRAMAS ARCHIVE STUDY GUIDE The representation of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) communities on television is marked by a history of stereotypes and inexplicable invisibility. By the 1970s, gay media-watch groups communicated their concerns to the television industry and a sense of cooperation began to emerge between the LG BT community and broadcasters. During the 1980s, the AIDS crisis and resulting prejudices ushered in a new era of problematic and offensive portrayals. In the late 1990s, Ellen Degeneres' landmark coming out, (both in real- life, and through the character she portrayed in her sitcom), generated much controversy and discussion, ultimately paving the way for well -developed gay characters in prominent primetime TV roles. Despite such advances, stereotypes continue to resurface and perpetuate, and the full diversity of the LGBT community is more often than not underrepresented in the mass media.

Abstract In 1997 HBO aired its first original drama series, Oz. In the years that have followed the network has positioned itself as vanguard in the television landscape, however, HBO drama series have remained a complicated, and often dangerous site for female characters. Moreover, with a few exceptions (Sex and the City, or True Blood for example), original HBO drama series remain focused on the network’s primary audience demographic: the predominantly male, relatively affluent consumers of quality television. This research explores the representation of female detectives within original HBO crime drama series, The Wire (2002--8) and Season Two of True Detective (2014 -), in order to examine how female officers, operate within the male-dominated world of HBO drama.
