Christina Hendricks Photos

Christina Rene Hendricks was born as Christina Elise McCarthy in Tennessee in 1978. Her mother was a psychologist, and her father was from England and

worked for the United States Forest Service. Because of her father’s line of work, she and her family didn’t stay in Knoxville for very long, At the age of three, they all moved to Twin Falls, Idaho, where she spent many of her formative

years. Christina didn’t mind all the transitions her family had to endure due to her father’s line of work, and for the most part took them in stride.

As a youngster, Christina enjoyed the game Dungeons and Dragons with her sibling, Aaron. The game suited her personality and gave her and her brother

many good memories.

Known for her red hair, Christina is actually a natural blonde. However, at the age of 10, she decided to color her hair red after reading the book Anne of Green Gables. She’s kept that shade for most of her years and has no idea of changing

it back to blonde in the foreseeable future.

Hendricks began acting early, securing roles in young people productions. At 13, she and her family trekked to Fairfax, Virginia, where she took on a Goth

persona and became ostracized by her peers. However, she found solace in her high school’s drama department and also became a model at the age of 18. Her

career took her far and wide to places such as London and New York.

Christina appeared many times on television in such series as Beggars and Choosers and The Big Time. She also had roles in Firefly, Without a Trace,

and many other shows. Probably her best known role is that of Joan Holloway in the AMC television show Mad Men. This is a show that focuses on an ad

agency during the early part of the 1960s. It’s known for its accurate detail to the era, including fashion. Started in 2007, the show is still going strong to this day

(2012).

Claiming to be nothing like the woman she portrays in Mad Men, Christina still loves reading the scripts and being the character in the show. “It’s fun to play a woman who's so sure of herself, who walks around with incredible posture and her chin up.” Mary McNamara of the Los Angeles Times has credited Christina with beginning the new modern ideal of Hollywood glamour, hearkening back to the days of Marilyn Monroe. Hopefully, the time of woefully thin women are but a

memory of the past. At least we can hope so.

Christina married fellow actor Geoffrey Arend on 11 October 2009. The wedding took place in New York City. She was also featured as a Barbie doll the

subsequent year, although the doll is simply called a red-haired office manager.

When Christina was modeling in Italy, she felt the most beautiful. She would take her clothes off in front a mirror and say to herself that she looked like a woman. She never tried to lose any weight because she thought the weight looked good

on her. Many of her fans would agree. However, she is starting to work out recently. During her time off, Christina likes to knit and cook. She also likes wine

tasting events.
