| The world on Christina Hendricks’ Sulders |
A couple of months ago, I told you about Twin Falls-bred actress Christina Hendricks becoming credited using the recent sharp increase within the incidence of breast augmentation surgery inside the United Kingdom.
Now the shapely star of Mad Males is being blamed for the entire 2011-2012 American network Television season.
That season will include a remake of Charlie’s Angels, a NBC series called Playboy Club and ABC’s Pan Am, a system about an era when flight attendants had been called stewardesses.
Yes, they’re all knockoffs - in one particular way or one more - of Hendricks’ Mad Males, an AMC series about a swinging ’60s marketing agency in New York City.
Here’s what New York Occasions columnist Maureen Dowd has to say about all that Hendricks need to answer for:
“ … Hollywood is actually a globe ruled by males, and this season, amid economic anxieties, those males prefer to indulge in some retro fantasies about hot, subservient babes.
“‘It’s the Hendricks syndrome,’ said one top male Tv producer. ‘All the big, corporate men saw Christina Hendricks play the bombshell secretary on Mad Men and fell in love. It’s a hot fudge sundae for males: a time when women were not allowed to get uppity or make demands. If the lady got pregnant, she had to drive to a back-alley abortionist in New Jersey. In case you got tired of ladies, they had to go away. Women right now don’t go away.’”
Hendricks, who lived in Twin Falls from 1983-89 and attended what’s now Vera C. O’Leary Middle School, has women’s clothes producers rushing to sign her up, and designers striving to recreate the search of the show with nipped-in waists, complete circle skirts and tight-fitting shirts.
A year, ago the 36-year-old Hendricks was voted “The Sexiest Woman Alive” by female readers of Esquire magazine. She was also nominated for an Emmy Award.
Wrote Dowd: “A top female entertainment executive says ‘it’s not a coincidence that these retro exhibits are appearing in the very same time guys are confused about who to be. Many girls are producing extra income and getting extra college degrees. The classic roles of dominant and submissive roles are reversed in many scenarios. Almost everything was clearer inside the ’60s.’”
