Yet Green pays a dear price for the chance to stand in that spotlight, beginning with her appearance. From the get-go, even news directors who weren't interested in hiring her phoned to advise she cut her naturally curly, long locks. She complied, eventually opting for a short Winona Ryder style. Her boss at the time bluntly told her it looked better on the actress. You have to blow it off, but it hurts every time.
Clothing offers no respite.
One news director appreciated her appearance in a black dress and requested that she send him copies of more interviews in that attire. Even her robust approach to exercise, Green confesses, is motivated in part by that nagging voice in the back of her mind that she can't gain 10 pounds and look acceptable in front of the camera. Yet being under the microscope also allows her to examine her life, clarify her values and build a workable strategy for future assaults. So, she acknowledges that if Jonathan would receive an offer that would skyrocket his career, as Fox 59 A.M. boosted hers, the couple would follow his job. And if I ever feel that my job decisions could put my marriage in danger in any way, I'd always choose my marriage.
