‘Mad Men’ Star Hails From Twin Falls

A few months ago, I told you about Twin Falls-bred actress Christina Hendricks being credited with the recent sharp increase in the incidence of breast augmentation surgery in the United Kingdom. Now the shapely star of Mad Men is being blamed for the entire 2011-2012 American network TV season. That season will include a remake of Charlie’s Angels, a NBC series called Playboy Club and ABC’s Pan Am, a program about an era when flight attendants were called stewardesses. Yes, they’re all knockoffs — in one way or another — of Hendricks’ Mad Men, an AMC series about a swinging ’60s advertising agency in New York City/Steve Crump, Twin Falls Times-News. More here.
