Mad Men`s Christina Hendricks graces the cover of the upcoming week`s PageSix Magazine.   Here`s part of the interview from the magazine:

On her character, Joan Holloway:

“Joan is a person I sometimes wish I could be. She’s a presentation. I don’t think she ever lets anyone see who she really is. She’s very confident and pulled together.”

On not being a size 2:

“No one will send me dresses. Designers loan size 2 or 4 samples to actresses, but I’m not that size. It’s like I’m a freak because I’m curvy and I can’t squeeze into those things. I’ve had some problems with that.”

 On being compared to Marilyn Monroe:

“I’m in love with Marilyn, so that makes me feel incredible. Throughout my career I’ve been told I look like her, though I think I’m much more crass.”

 On feeling the pressure to lose weight:

“I’ve always had boobs and hips, even when I was 115 pounds. And here I am much heavier than when I was modeling, and all of a sudden people are giving me positive feedback. Sure, I’d be happier with 10 pounds off – wouldn’t every woman?”

 On not letting fame go to her head:

“I’m proud of my profession, but Hollywood has gotten so trashy and ugly. The sense of entitlement some actors have is bizarre. We’re like court jesters – we act like other people for a living. But if that’s all you do, fool, do you really think people should bow down?”

Yes I would LOVE to be 10 pounds lighter!!!  She`s a beautiful woman isn`t she??  I`ve never watched the show but everyone RAVES about it.

Do you watch the show??
