I think the people at FNC try very hard with Mara's hair. Kind of like they do with Susan Estrich. Whenever Estrich doesn't look horrid, I figure the FNC make-up people had a lot of time!
My Mom used to say about "situations" like that, "Sometimes nature plays a cruel trick..."
She also used to say, when she saw a great looking gal with an ugly old toad like me, "Well. He's either got money, or a wart.".
But I digress...
