When we first sat down with her, she had just wrapped Erin Brockovich. We were trying to find somebody who could stand the test of time in a special show — someone who was sexy and tough and who had a lot of acting chops, someone to whom CBS’ very important female audience could relate, someone with a high IQ rating and who had a great pedigree. We found all that in Marg. We had a shortlist of names that we were considering, but she was always our first choice. She had such a gung-ho spirit about the role. Hiring her was arguably the best decision we ever made. It was tough to see her go. I was there for the last scene and then later, when she said goodbye to the cast and crew. It was the end of an era with a special actress.” (Hollywood Reporter, January 25, 2012)
