All This and a Brilliant Comedienne Too!
in 1996 Mariska was in a show starring Nancy McKeon ("Facts of Life") called "Can't Hurry Love." She played a kind of Paris Hilton spoiled brat socialite type that lived in the same building as McKeon's character and she stole every single moment she was on screen! Mariska is amazing at comedy timing! In fact, I wished they either spun off a show for her character or changed the plot of the program to make her the star, she was that good.
I often wonder if she'll go back to comedy at some point because it's nice to see her smiling on camera occasionally!
