Doris Kearns Goodwin needs a new wig!

Can we start a GoFundMe for her? A brilliant historian, let's help her!

You're terrible, Muriel.

Poor lady. I like her.

I thought she looked much better than usual when she was on whatever show she was on yesterday (Thurs). I assumed facelift and new wig, though I wasn't watching very closely.

LOL I literally said something about that the other day to my partner. And I am usually blind to those thing. I dont pay attention to woman's close or hair styles, so if I noticed it, really off the charts obvious.

It’s really really bad. But t, she seems like a nice old lady. Wonder if she has cancer?

Surely, she can afford a high quality wig

I hadn’t seen her in a while, but that wig caught me off guard. It looks like she bought it from Joni Ernst’s House of Rugs.

It needs to be thinned. The style and color are ok, but it's too thick.

Or, a new one with less texture to it.

Problem solved.

Her wigs make me think of Senior Wences.

Gays, make me Doris Kearns Goodwig!

It just looks like it's not sitting on her head but hovering over it.

I find that when she's on, all I do is stare at her wig.

by Anonymousreply 10January 9, 2021 1:04 AM

As soon as she appeared on screen, I knew some of you bitches would jump right on the case!

Is that gargoyle-like husband of hers still alive. She's a mediocre historian, at best. Her LBJ book was a work of sucking up.

OP I just saw this and was coming here to say the same! I'm glad I am not alone.

I mean, it was TRULY obvious and bad.

Or, evidently, grammar or spelling.

Gosh, I came to the same conclusion watching her on CBS Sunday Morning!

by Anonymousreply 17January 10, 2021 4:00 PM

Wasn't she LBJ's side piece?

R18 if yes, she needs to share pics of his foot long dong

For some reason, after decades of being rather homely, it was only recently she got the bad wig and fillers.

by Anonymousreply 20January 10, 2021 5:30 PM

Hate me if you want, but she's a terrible historian. She relies on previously published works instead of finding new sources or even double-checking existing sources. She also builds on a subject's mythology instead of looking for the basis of the mythology.

Plagiarism Row Topples Pulitzer Judge

The US historian Doris Goodwin admits to borrowing passages from other authors, but critics reject her claim that it was all an accident

Doris Kearns Goodwin, one of America's best-known popular historians, stepped down as a Pulitzer prize judge yesterday in the face of mounting allegations that she had lifted many passages in her acclaimed work from other writers' books.

Goodwin, a bestselling historian of the American presidency who won the Pulitzer herself in 1995 for a book about the Roosevelts, explained in a letter to the prize-giving board that "because I am so distracted by the media focus on my work, I do not feel capable of giving the considerable time needed to make the proper judgments".

I think (but don't know for sure) she has or had cancer, R20

by Anonymousreply 23January 10, 2021 6:17 PM

I gasped when I saw that wig this morning -- and then I changed the channel.

That's certainly something that I don't need to have enter my beautiful mind.

Here it is—one hell of a possumy wig!

She honestly looks like she had a head transplant; she used to be on Meet the Press all the time & she looked like a historian, someone who could constantly conjure up random info about Teddy Roosevelt. Not unattractive, but a bit on the dowdy side. I was her Master's Class advertisements on social media & at first I had no idea who that was she'd changed that much.

R25, It's obviously not from my wig line, dahhling.

by Anonymousreply 27January 10, 2021 7:19 PM

It just makes me worry that she has no one with her to advise her. This is not good.

by Anonymousreply 28January 10, 2021 8:44 PM

She looks bizarre. Bless her.
