Modern Day Marilyn
. Christina Hendricks, 36, looks so much like a poster girl for 50s movies that you cannot help but think of Marilyn Monroe. This gorgeous woman looks like a siren transplanted from those days into the modern day, a famously full-figured, busty girl who makes male pulses race, so reminiscent of Monroe and Russell.
How many other current r female stars have so much attention paid to their figures? It is perhaps a bit over the top, really, because, like her glamorous predecessors of the golden age of Hollywood, Hendricks can and does act well, part of her appeal being her incredible deportment, a hangover from years doing ballet in her teens, and that Marilyn Monroe style girly voice that men simply swoon over.
In her latest movie, Drive, Christina plays a double-crossing femme fatale named Blanche, who gets involved with a stuntman, Ryan Gosling, a getaway driver finding himself in deep trouble. She took the job wanting to work with Nicolas Refn Winding, director, who has commented that he would love to cast her as heroine in Wonder Woman, a role she longs to play.
Even so, Christina is not star-struck, but displays a refreshing lack of interest in celebrity. Even in her early 20s, she was coolly self-possessed, having started modelling after winning a magazine contest, mostly after school hours. though she maintains that she only did it because she wanted to get out of Virginia. She did not much like her fellow models, more interested in learning to be independent than in the glamour.
Her modelling work lasted from age 18 to 27, during which time she lived in London for twelve months, having dual nationality: her father was born in England. She grew up in up in a little Idaho town, a good student who never really liked school. As a teenager in Virginia Christina was a goth, multi-colored hair and rebellious attitude. What really changed her life was accepting the role he is now famous for in the Mad men series on TV.
This incredibly sexy lady has come under intense scrutiny from the media for the past two years, fashion choices and r body constantly being commented upon, but Christina still has difficulty understanding all the hype, because, whilst she admits that women obsess over their figures often, she never has, but was happy, feeling sexy and honestly never expecting the kind of attention she gets,
She met husband Arend in 2007 a two year courtship ensuing before they married in 2009, for many men a real reason the hate the much-envied Arend for his perceived good fortune Christina laughs at that notion, though she is obviously pleased that several men's magazines have named her The Sexiest Woman Who Ever Drew Breath. Her husband she says with a real smile told her that from the start, he being the one who makes her feel sexy, but the rest of the male world can still dream, can't they?
