“I can’t imagine the show ending, and can’t imagine not going on this journey with my cast, my crew. I have so much to look forward to. And I’m still growing. I like that you can be so many things at one time. It’s learning to give yourself permission to be all of yourself.”

Along with celebrating the series’ milestone,Hargitay will be celebrating her 60th birthday on Jan. 23.
“The age thing was never something I was scared of,”Hargitay told PEOPLE. “I didn’t get cast [onSVU]until I was 35 and then the show kept going as I aged. At 45, we’d been on for ten years and I just met my husband [when Hermann had a guest role on the show.] The man of my dreams. I got married at 40. I hadAugust[her eldest son] at 42. So it was like defying all the odds."
“I won an Emmy [in 2006] and all these major things kept happening. I didn’t take anything for granted,” added the actress. “I’m counting my lucky stars. How did I get here? And why does nobody care how old I am?”
