Hollywood’s Hottest Sex Bomb

Christina Hendricks talks about her figure in Page Six magazine.

“I was a model for years, and even when I was 19 years old and 115 pounds [and 5´8˝], my agency said, ‘Your ankles are a little large. If you could lose 10 pounds, that would be really great’. I’ve always had boobs and hips, even when I was 115 pounds. And here I am, much heavier than when I was modeling, and all of a sudden people are giving me positive feedback. Sure, I’d be happier with 10 pounds off — wouldn’t every woman? But at the same time, when I looked at myself in those red carpet pictures, I thought, ‘Oh my God, I looked beautiful’. I didn’t tear myself apart.

No one will send me dresses. Designers loan size 2 or 4 samples to actresses, but I’m not that size. It’s like I’m a freak because I’m curvy and I can’t squeeze into those things. I’ve had some problems with that.”

Hendricks was born in Knoxville, Knox County, Tennessee and raised in Twin Falls, Idaho from third grade until high school. She left Twin Falls after the 8th grade in 1989. She then moved to Fairfax, Va where she appeared in several high school plays and local community theatre. She got her start acting in Junior Musical Playhouse productions, including Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

As an actress, Hendricks has made her mark in a number of guest TV appearances. Her first television break came when she became a regular in the series Beggars & Choosers. Since then, she has starred in the series The Big Time and The Court, opposite Sally Field and Craig Bierko, as well as the law drama Kevin Hill. She has also had recurring roles in ER and Firefly. She guest-starred in episodes of Angel, Miss Match, Tru Calling, Presidio Med, Without a Trace, and Las Vegas. Hendricks also starred opposite Kip Pardue in South of Pico.

Hendricks has been seen on two episodes (on October 3, 2007 and November 7, 2007) of the new TV show Life in the role of Olivia, detective Charlie Crews’ soon-to-be step-mother. It is not known yet if this role will expand or become recurring.

Hendricks has a regular supporting role in the Emmy and Golden Globe winning AMC series Mad Men, which centers on the macho, booze-soaked world of advertising in New York City circa 1960. Her character, Joan Holloway, is the office manager of an advertising agency, providing dubious mentoring to a group of women who must deal with the come-ons and callousness of professional advertising executives. Mad Men premiered on July 19, 2007.
