Christina Hendricks

Though a natural blonde, Christina Hendricks made her mark on television as the curvaceous, titian-haired, all-knowing secretary-with-a-trick-up-her-sleeve, Joan Holloway, on AMC’s Emmy-nominated period series, “Mad Men” (2007- ). Channeling screen sirens from the 1950s, Hendricks skillfully captured the coy, seductive intellect of stars such as Kim Novak and Ava Gardner. Adept at shifting from demure waif to sultry vixen in the blink of an eye, Hendricks honed her acting skills in supporting roles on Joss Whedon’s cult hit “Firefly” (FOX, 2002) and UPN’s short-lived drama, “Kevin Hill”
