Hollywood’s new ideal of beauty, flatters the L.A. Times. Too bloated, others complain. While the world discusses Christina Hendricks’ breasts, she tries to be a serious actress.
If you listen in on the meeting rooms of select cosmetic surgeons, you will hear Christina Hendrick’s name more often these days. This is confirmed by a study by the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. Since 2010, 10 percent more women have had breast implants. Quite a few of them have a Hendricks décolleté in mind. The 38-DDD of the woman who has repeatedly slipped between the gossip columns of various magazines since the start of the US cult series “Mad Men”. In this case, the reason does not stem from acting ability, although “in this case” is out of place, when was it ever like this. It’s not that the 37-year-old can’t act – she’s just about to show it – but rather that she is the epitome of a new, healthier ideal of beauty that has long been sought but never found. A siren with a delightful strawberry mouth and invitingly round hips. Next to Christina Hendricks, Kate Moss looks like a girl. And of course Hendricks is profiting from this. From the meticulously rehearsed swaying gait to the wide-cut wardrobe – there is hardly a picture in which these breasts don’t jump out at you. But while men go into raptures, some female journalists have a disapproving look on their faces. Cathy Horn from the New York Times, for example, criticized a Golden Globe appearance by Hendricks with the words: “You don’t put a big girl in a big dress” and thus set the mood for universal court chatter. Meanwhile, Hendricks breaks off interviews in which she (weighing 70 kilos) is asked what it’s like to be a fat star in skinny Hollywood. And that’s not even her style. Hendricks is very different from the Joan Harris she portrayed in “Mad Men”, not despondent but shy, a compliant well-bred woman who reaches out to give, not to take. And that’s why she breathes a sigh of relief when the questions directed at her don’t revolve around her weight. Her cheeks glow and she gushes that she is actually blonde, but has been a redhead for ten years because that’s what she always wanted. She talks about her childhood in Knoxville, Tennessee, later Twin Falls, Idaho. That she had a punk phase that she is ashamed of, that she worked as a model for nine years and made guest appearances in series in between, that “Mad Men” changed her life and cost her her agent her life. She’s talking about Geoffrey Arend, her husband, a good-hearted guy. She talks about filming “Detachment” with Adrien Brody (in cinemas from March 7), about how hard she tries to be a serious actress and that she works hard. And it seems you’ve heard it all before. From Marilyn Monroe.
