Hargitay and Mansfield were in love, and the pair tied the knot in 1958. Their relationship also brought Hargitay some interesting film roles (per IMDb). He had a small part in the romantic comedy "Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?" (1957), which Mansfield starred in. They shared equal billing for the mythological adventure movie "The Loves of Hercules," released in 1960, and then starred together in "Promises! Promises!" (1963). Hargitay made his last appearance in one of Mansfield's movies, "Primitive Love," the following year. This was around the same time that their marriage had started to come undone.

After nearly six years of marriage and three children together, Hargitay and Mansfield called it quits in 1964. But the pair managed to stay on good terms with each other after the divorce, according to Mansfield's official site. Hargitay went on to appear in a string of Italian films in the 1960s. Hargitay's priorities may have shifted from filmmaking to family after the 1967 death of Mansfield in a terrible car accident, and he raised their three children with his third wife, Ellen.
