Christina Hendricks

Christina Hendricks gave us one of television's great performances as Joan Holloway in Mad Men, and I still don't think she has received full credit for it. Joan could have been mere set dressing in a lesser actress's hands; Hendricks turned her into the show's sharpest study of power, dignity, and survival in a man's world. Six Emmy nominations hint at the achievement, but awards lag behind what audiences felt. I also admire her range across voice work, comedy, and character parts, and the way a former model rebuilt herself as a serious actor. She is proof that presence and intelligence can share the same frame.
