Hargitay: Collapsed Lung
The official AP dispatch on Mariska Hargitay's condition just hit the wires:
A collapsed lung. Again.
Here's the full piece, or rather brief:
"The star of NBC's "Law & Order: Special Victim's Unit" was hospitalized on Wednesday after feeling discomfort from a partially collapsed lung. She is undergoing tests.
Hargitay has been ailing since at least mid-January, when producers announced that she had a partially collapsed lung. Her spokeswoman, Leslie Sloane, said the actress "expects to be feeling better soon" and that production of the show will not be affected.
Hargitay, 45, won an Emmy last year for her role as Detective Olivia Benson on "Law & Order: SVU." She was hospitalized in January for something called pneumothorax, or (a report in E) a partially collapsed lung; show was on hiatus then.
Now, you ask: How could production (in New Jersey, BTW) NOT be affected? Reason: Her scenes have already been shot (I'm reliably told.) But of course, there are a lot of episodes to go...
I met Hargitay some years ago, and she is - or at least struck me at the time - one of the nicest and least pretentious major stars I've ever met; I certainly wish her well at this difficult moment.

catamenial pneumothorax, caused by endometriosis. Her lung will collapse everytime she gets her period.
Good morning. The first duty of a leader is to make himself be loved without courting love. To be loved without 'playing up' to anyone - even to himself. Help me!
