Christina Ricci: Beatnik Stewardess

Christina Ricci has accepted her first leading television role: she’ll play the protagonist in the forthcoming “Pan Am,” ABC’s attempt to ride the “Mad Men” wave with a ’60s drama.

[Ricci] will play the lead, Maggie, a fiery stewardess who is leading a double life – on duty she is a beautiful, perfectly groomed and poised stewardess, and off duty she is earthy, bohemian living among the beatniks and intellectuals of Greenwich Village. [Deadline]

Translation: Maggie is DEE. TEE. EFF. And if there’s one thing Ricci does well, it’s play DTF. Seriously, Black Snake Moan really made me attracted to a sexually abused white trash racist gang rape victim with STDs in ways that I didn’t think were possible. Women chained to radiators shouldn’t be that sexy. Which is why I anchored iron loopholes into the floor of my soundproof basement.
