CHRISTINA HENDRICKS Taking Risks & Finding Love

WITH A NEW SHOW, THE MAD MEN ALUM REFLECTS ON HER PASSIONS AND THE MAN WHO CAPTURED HER HEART

- JP MANGALINDAN

For Christina Hendricks, landing the new period drama The Buccaneers couldn't have come at a better time. Fresh off her disappointment from the cancellation of her last show, Good Girls, the actress craved a change-and playing the mother of two debutantes in 1870s London on Apple TV+'s Edith Wharton adaptation offered just that. "I had been doing scenes with guns, shaking out crime and being in big trash cans," she explains over the phone from Ireland, where she's currently filming another new series. "After that I just wanted to sit somewhere in a corset with a teacup. It felt exactly right."
