Mariska,

Your character, Olivia Benson, has stolen hearts and withstood the test of time for 26 years (26 seasons). Whether onscreen or offscreen, your vulnerability and advocacy for sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse are truly unmatched and necessary. Thank you for advancing the women’s movement and the quality of life for all, one episode at a time!

We are all beyond grateful for your service to television and through your foundation, Joyful Heart.

May this new chapter be filled with all of the compassion, fulfillment, and love that you give to those both near and far.

I’ll never forget, in 2016, having the privilege of sitting in the same room as you.

Cheers to Chapter 61! 👑🥳💐
