1. Christina Hendricks
Christina Rene Hendricks was born as Christina Elise
McCarthy in Tennessee on 3 May 1978. Her mother was a
psychologist, and her father worked for the United States
Forest Service. Because of her father’s profession, the
family didn’t stay in Knoxville for very long, At the young
age of three, her family moved to 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.

2. 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 young age of 10, she took to coloring her
hair red after reading the book Anne of Green Gables. She’s
kept that color for most of her years and has no plan of
converting back to blonde in the near future.

3. Hendricks began acting early, landing roles in youth
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 program and also became a model at
the age of 18. Her career took her all around the globe to
places such as New York and London.

4. Christina appeared many times on programs such series
as Beggars and Choosers and The Big Time. She also
had roles in Firefly, Without a Trace, and many other
productions. Probably her most famous role is that of Joan
Holloway in the AMC hit series Mad Men. This is a show
that focuses on an ad company during the early part of the
1960s. It’s known for its authentic detail to the era, including
fashion. Started in 2007, the series is still doing well to this
day (2012).

5. Claiming to be nothing like the character she plays in Mad
Men, she still loves reading the scripts and acting in the
series. “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 starting the new modern ideal of Hollywood
glamour, hearkening back to the days of Marilyn Monroe.
Hopefully, the time of painfully skinny women are long gone.
At least we can hope so.

6. Christina was wed to 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 in the recent years. During her time off,
Christina likes to knit and cook. She also likes wine tasting
events.
