"We all know
Marilyn just wants to be a Joan..."
Christina Hendricks is an American actress known to geeks and tropers mostly for her two appearances on
Firefly as the
Femme Fatale Saffron (or
YoSaffBridge, if you prefer). Since then, however, she's got considerably more mainstream exposure for her role in
Mad Men as
Sexy Secretary Joan Holloway. She also appeared in
Company opposite Neil Patrick Harris, Stephen Colbert, and Patti Lupone, and in
Drive, directed by Nicholas Winding Refn, with Ryan Gosling.
