Christina Hendricks bases her red hot look on a TV castaway.
The 35-year-old Mad Men actress says it was watching a young shipwrecked schoolgirl Ginger on ’60s TV show Gilligan’s Island that inspired her to go from blonde to red.
“As a kid, every day I would come home and watch Gilligan’s Island and Ginger was on there slinking around in her beaded gowns and purring and everyone was scared of her,” explains Christina.
So maybe it's worth speculating a bit about the '60s-era television show — "Mad Men" — that's been a major influence on much recent fashion. At the end of last season, the series closed the door on the first half of the decade, ending in late 1965.Series creator Matt Weiner is notoriously secretive about the show, so there's no telling exactly where the action will pick up when it returns. "Mad Men" costume designer Janie Bryant was hesitant when asked about it over coffee as she was doing interviews for the publication of her book, "The Fashion File: Advice, Tips, and Inspiration from the Costume Designer of Mad Men."

(sabotaged by Lex Luthor) and, in the process, is oversaturated by radiation – which accelerates his cell degeneration.

Mania had the distinct honor of attending the world premiere in New York City. To watch All-Star Superman in a theater with a crowd of people is an experience that very few people will ever have. Equally impressive is having the chance to meet its star, Christina Hendricks. The star of the hit series Mad Men was all too eager to discuss her first voice over performance. In attendance was her husband as well, Geoffrey Arend (Devil and Super Troopers), who had no problem telling us how much of a geek honor it is to be married to the Lois Lane.
She has been coveting the sought-after role of Wonder Woman ever since it was announced that the sexy superheroine would be returning to our screens.But Christina Hendricks has missed out on her childhood dream after NBC chose relative unknown Adrianne Palicki to play her instead.

"Mad Men" star Christina Hendricks will put her stunning looks to good use as the latest spokesmodel for fashion icon Dame Vivienne Westwood.
The curvy beauty has flown to London to model the designer's new jewelery collection for an ad campaign - and she admits her latest role is a dream come true.
She tells Britain's Mail on Sunday, "I had such a fun day trying on all Vivienne's new collection. She is my favorite designer. As a young girl I would cut out pictures of her dresses from magazines, although I was never able to afford them. Even now I only have one in my closet. The lovely thing now is that I can borrow them and they fit so well, unlike some designer clothes."
News just in: Christina Hendricks is in London right this very minute. Well, we hope she is - she arrived at St Pancras from Paris last night and hopefully didn't do a runner after getting scared by that little crackie woman on the corner of Pentonville Rd.
