Well, yeah, that is disappointing.
I'd rather see some more interesting and appealing actress try the role.
But maybe she's not as bad as one would expect.
Seems to be 'type casting' -- they were both crazy b*****s.
God bless old Abe. He had to put up with the Confederates, the Abolitionists, the Copperheads, and Mary Todd Lincoln.
I don't know how he managed. ;~))
