Getty Mariska Hargitay and Jamie Lee Curtis are opening up about their incredible lives and careers. The stars took part in a conversation for Variety ‘s Actors on Actors series, out now. During their chat, the Law & Order: SVU actress and the Halloween icon spoke about their respective families and childhoods, as well as their recent reunion when Mariska was making her documentary My Mom Jayne . They also discussed their current projects, and Mariska doing her first play. Check out the highlights inside… View this post on Instagram A post shared by CNN (@cnn) On their early history together: Jamie Lee: Nobody knows this — you grew up in a pink house on Sunset Boulevard, which was once owned by Sonny and Cher and later purchased by Tony Curtis . He married this very young woman [she signals displeasure by raising her eyebrows]. He bought this house, and [you and I] met. There is a photograph of us standing in the driveway. We never saw each other after that. You ask yourself, “Why don’t we know each other when we have so much history with our families?” Mariska: We were sisters from another mother or father.

You’re one of the most deeply sensitive, empathetic and compassionate humans that I’ve met. Your unique lens on my story was extraordinary. Jamie Lee: You explained to me that you were making a doc and had come back to Los Angeles and started going through [your mom’s] storage unit. But you didn’t tell me the secret you held for a very long time. I’m guessing there were people close to you who knew the story of your birth father [entertainer Nelson Sardelli ]. Once it becomes a sensational secret, it’s going to get shared. You came to my house. I made a little lunch. I think I may have baked a little lemon cake for you. Mariska: You made a little pasta salad. Mariska on Jamie Lee and Mariska watching each other’s projects: I had to separate you as an actor, because you were also just this sister that I got — one who understood my movie. I know that it brought up so much for you. Both of us have these complicated pasts. But you texted me six months ago and said, “Your show has been on for 87 years — I can’t watch it all. Give me the top 10 episodes that you would want me to see, because I want to know you as an artist.” I asked you the same question about The Bear . I watched three episodes, and [the first two] were so
