Many people think that Leslie Stahl wears a wig, however this information has not been confirmed yet. In an interview by The Women on the Web, Stahl said:
"When I get up and do my hair, I spray it so completely — with cement — that if you called me at five o’clock it would still be cement. I’d be able to run out.""This business of just getting it in place and not having a hair move started when I was covering the White House for CBS. I could be called on to be on camera at any second. No time to play around, not even, really, time to put lipstick on. So you had to be ready at any point during the day. Cement was the solution I came to and it worked. And so I just keep doing that," she added.
