I hope she has been tested for the breast cancer gene
I came to Mara's IDMb page after reading in an article the sad news that she lost her passion for acting when her mom passed away from breast cancer when she was just a child. Her bio mentions that her mom is of Ashkenazi Jewish heritage which would have put her at greater risk of having a defective BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene. Not much was known about this when Mara's mom passed away so it makes me wonder if she's been made aware of the link.
