- Christina was a big fan of Dungeons of Dragons. Guess what? She used to play it with her brothers.
- Commenting on her style choice when she was a teenager, Christina has the following to say “People literally spit on me. I was a Goth girl, and in preppy Fairfax County, that did not go over very well…I dyed my hair about 42 different colours, shaved it at the back and wore black make-up…My mother was mortified and kept telling me how horrible and ugly I looked, and strangers would walk by with a look of shock on their face.”
- Weird it is but Christina hates her hairstyles of her ‘Mad Men’ show. The strange thing is that the show has had a 7-year run.
- Any acting regret she has? Yes, in MTV’s Undressed, a popular anthology series which ran from 1999-2002. She wasn’t too proud of her work in that.
- At one point, Christina was job-hunting. The worst part is Hendricks was dropped from her talent agency for having taken the “Joan” role on Mad Men. Her agency told her, “It’s a period piece, it’s never going to go anywhere. We need you to make money and this isn’t going to make money”. She remained firm on her decision, and they dropped her. What was Christina’s rationale? Say she “I had been on several shows that were meant to be the big ones, that would go on for ever, and they didn’t. So there was no sure bet and I’d already taken a chance on them and I felt, why not do the one you’re in love with and take a chance on that?” Sticking to her decision paid off. Her “Mad Men” role was the best career choice the actress has made till date.
