Biography
This ravishing redhead was actually born a blonde in Knoxville, Tennessee, circa 1978. She didn’t really have a chance to acclimatize to that southern city’s charm, as her parents moved to Twin Falls, Idaho, when she was just starting grade three.
It wasn’t until high school, this time in Virginia, that Christina Hendricks was bitten by the acting bug. She had taken on a Goth persona and was ostracized by her preppy classmates. Shaken, Christina Hendricks went to one of the only places outcast teens can find solace; her high school drama department. It was there, amongst the downtrodden and nerdy, that her long journey to stardom began.
Armed with obvious talents both physically and professionally, Christina Hendricks began getting bigger and bigger roles, including reoccurring ones on ER and the underappreciated sci-fi series Firefly. Big-time success seemed just around the corner -- she just needed her one big break.
She continues to win rave reviews as the show enters its 3rd season. The producers are so impressed by her work that they have elevated her character to more of a main player than simply a piece of eye candy, a testament to this talented woman’s skill and professionalism (and, yes, her jaw-dropping curves).
