Christina Hendricks on ‘Drive,’ ‘Mad Men,’ and Playing Bad Girls

The Takeaway

Actress Christina Hendricks stopped by The Takeaway’s studios earlier this week for a taping of the Movie Date podcast. Hendricks has two movies opening in theaters this week, “Drive,” an arty action thriller starring Ryan Gosling, and “I Don’t Know How She Does It,” a comedy starring Sarah Jessica Parker.  She also stars as Joan Holloway in “Mad Men,” a role which has earned her two Emmy nominations (tune in to the Emmys telecast this weekend to find out if she wins). Takeaway Movie Date podcast hosts  Rafer Guzman  and  Kristen Meinzer  spoke with Hendricks earlier this week. Guzman is also a film critic for Newday, and Meinzer is a producer at The Takeaway.
Here’s the trailer for “Drive:”
