“Mickey” Hargitay (January 6, 1926 – September 14, 2006) was a Hungarian-American actor and bodybuilder.
Born in Budapest, Hargitay emigrated as a young man of 21 to the United States in 1947. Known as “Mickey”, he eventually became a naturalized American citizen. He became known as a competitive bodybuilder, helping popularize the sport and winning Mr. Universe in 1955. His bodybuilding gave him an entree to acting.
In 1958, Hargitay married actress Jayne Mansfield. During their marriage, Hargitay and Mansfield made four movies together: Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? (1957), The Loves of Hercules (1960), Promises! Promises! (1963), and Primitive Love (1964). The couple were estranged by the time Mansfield gave birth to actress Mariska Hargitay in 1964. Mariska believed herself to be Hargitay’s daughter before learning at age 25 that her biological father was singer Nelson Sardelli. (info from Wkipedia)
SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER, Friday, Dec. 31, 1965
(UPI) Los Angeles, Dec.30 — A warrant has been issued for the arrest of actor Mickey Hargitay, 37, for failure to appear in a court on a child support matter.
Almost took my two-year old Canon (wireless) printer out back to smash it with a bat. This was the third time the dang thing would not connect to the home network since I purchased it. The Canon website was no help. Volumes of info that had me going in circles. Time spent on trying to get this working: close to 7 hours. In the last 10 minutes of that time, I finally accessed a Youtube video, posted by an average tech with a video camera. In his three minute video, he explained step-by-step how to solve that particular issue with the model printer I have and where to download the app that will control the printer direct from my smart phone. I should have checked Youtube first thing.

A baseball umpire’s job is to officiate the game by enforcing the rules and making impartial decisions on plays, ensuring fair play and maintaining order. Umpires are responsible for calling balls and strikes, outs and safes, fair or foul balls, and for monitoring player behavior. They must have a deep knowledge of the rules, maintain composure under pressure, and possess keen vision and communication skills to manage the game effectively.
Visitors to the studio or those strange calls from listeners, strange moments when you need to be alert. I’ve had a few prank calls, such as the time the FCC called to tell me the tower lights were too bright for airline pilots, and the girls that propositioned me over the phone. They were fooled by the sound of my voice and I had no idea what was on the other end of the line. Something between Tuesday Weld and Phyllis Diller.
