I heard she was, like James Marshall and Kyle MacLachlan before her, no
longer thrilled with the role in general.  Her appearances in movies like
"Mobsters" seem to imply that she has no problem with skimpy costumes /
semi-nudity.

She's not that young; I think she's 23.  The costumers and director just did
a very good job of making her look sweet, innocent, and as young as Lara
was when she shot the pilot.  Check out the otherwise tepid flick "The Cutting
Edge" to see Moira looking a little more like her own age.
