This woman is my hero. The character she plays (Olivia Benson) is so inspiring and fearless and selfless. I wish I could be like her. Mariska Hargitay is my role model, my idol. She is the founder and head of an amazing foundation (the Joyful Heart Foundation) and she just so freaking inspiring. My dream is to meet her one day. I want to thank her for all she's done and thank her for being the person she is.
