My new 5D Mark II with f/4 24-105 set to auto ISO and P mode did it's level best on this one, opening up the lens all the way and setting ISO to 3200. But the shot was still way underexposed and challenged my post abilities enough that I needed help from Dan Margulis' Applied Color Theory folks. In the end, I used an alternative raw converter (RPP), a false profile, and just about the full boat of Dan's LAB tricks to save it. Sometimes one gets a shot which catches something in someone that is worth any amount of effort.
If not now, when?

    I can see why you wanted to save this photo. What a beautiful, luminous expression on her face!!

    It sounds like you had to work real miracles. But it was worth it.
