Just noticed she played 'Saffron' in two episodes of 'Firefly'


... and damn she is a sneaking beauty in that. I've watched Firefly many times, and the episodes with her in it are really great - not just because of her, but those episodes are really great stories in general and well written (they are 'Our Mrs. Reynolds' (2002) and 'Trash' (2003).

This was pretty early in her career when she was 27-29(?) years old, but her performance heightened the quality of those episodes very much, in my opinion (and we did see her partially naked from behind and from the side, which enchances a guy's opinion of her ;)). But she did great character acting there, from being a shy, young girl (she looked like a 16 year old with big *beeps*, and Jewel Staite was about 19-20 years old at the time and treated her like a child at first (in the episode 'Our Mrs Reynolds') to being a kick-ass 'biatch').

Anyway, I started watching Mad Men without noticing it was the same woman until I started watching Firefly again a few days ago. I think she is a great and versatile actor, as well as extremely sexy and good looking still at almost 40 years old.

Best of luck to Mrs. Hendricks for the future!

(I'm from Norway, by the way, so I'm not as up to speed of what she's doing or how well she's doing as you Americans with all your talk-shows and stuff :P)

Edit: (Another by the way; I can't believe no one has mentioned her performance in Firefly)

It's not mentioned because we all knew her from Firefly before Mad Men

Not everyone knew her from Firefly before Mad Men. I saw her on MM first. It's not as if Firefly lasted for 6 seasons.
