Harden has an amazing ability to be despised one minute (when she's telling Don that he's being sued by Dantana) to smoldering the next (when she tells Reese he's paying her to listen to his problems).
Yet, Marcia Gay Harden is out-sexying all of the younger female characters on this sophomore season of 'The Newsroom' (yes, even YOU, Meryl Streep's daughter). Her name sounds like a punchline to a joke about homosexuals. She's apt to play dowdy mothers (see: Whip It and The Mist).
