Cross-eyed actress: Brenda Strong

It always bothers me when an actress who has to express strong feelings can't be taken as supposed to  because of her cross-eyed asymmetry.
Like Brenda Strong. She is a great actress yet her cross-eyed face distracts attention whenever she is visible. Why can't rich actresses take a surgery to correct their eyes with laser?? It is 5 minutes and ultra safe.
On this picture she is supposed to be dramatic and sad. Yet, I can only laugh as her face looks funny with eyes facing opposite directions :)
