Re: NBC's Parenthood 2013........so, what do you think.
I could really relate to the scene in the butcher shop when everyone was staring at her bald head in the bandana - I hated it when people did that. She does a great job portraying all of the emotions that come with this journey. I am so glad they had her lose her hair - I was afraid she would have her lumpectomy and be done - so interesting they gave her the HER2 spin on things.
