Marg Helgenberger Has "More"

Marg Helgenberger is featured on the upcoming issue of More magazine. The magazine will be available on news stands Tuesday, September 18th.

(New York, NY) – She’s got a huge hit, a wicked wit and one of Hollywood’s more enduring marriages.  No wonder Marg Helgenberger feels sexier than ever at 48.  More magazine’s October cover star talks to Jaime Diamond about

About being a star on a top-five show:  “I’m enjoying the attention and the power.  It can do a lot for your ego.  And I feel sexier now that I did when I was 28.  I’m more competent, more relaxed and less frazzled.”

About her toe ring, which she had custom made for her role on ER, which she still wears:  “I was playing George Clooney’s love interest – I mean, come on!  I had the ring made because I knew we were going to have love scenes.”

About her husband, president of the Screen Actors Guild Alan Rosenberg:  “He’s a very smart guy in ways that he doesn’t always get to use as an actor.”  Asked whether the earnings discrepancies bother her, she shrugs.  “I think it bothers him from time to time.  It doesn’t bother me in the least.”

On a sibling for her only child Hugh:  “By the time Alan and I said, ‘Let’s try for another,’ I couldn’t get pregnant.”  Starting at age 39, she went through fertility treatments but stopped short of in vitro, deciding to let nature take its course.  “I figured if it happens, it happens.  It didn’t happen.”  Later, after her career moved into high gear, she considered adopting.  “And then I thought, I feel guilty that I don’t spend enough time with my one child.  Can I do this to another one?”  Which led to a further realization: “Do I really want to be in my sixties and have a teenager?”  She shakes her head.

About her 14-hour work days:  “Once I come home I need to compensate, or overcompensate, for the time I’ve spent away.  But, then again, I’m Catholic.  I draw guilt out of the air.”

There’s obviously reasons why Marg Helgenberger was crowned Sexiest Female on CSI.
