Joan Holloway had a pretty humiliating day interfacing with Pete Campbell on yesterday's Mad Men, and Movieline is here to rub cinematic salve on the burn. We caught up with Christina Hendricks, the actress behind Sterling Cooper's former doyenne, and asked her about her favorite scene in film history. Though she was flustered upon fielding the question, her answer is spirited and (somehow, in a tangential way) quintessentially Joan.
"Well, I'm going to have to say, just because it came to mind first, embarrassingly, the 'Hot Lunch Jam' in the movie Fame. The original Fame. I was really young, so I didn't see when it first came out; I saw it years later. I saw it in high school and of course, it was inspirational and, I thought, 'That's going to be,' and 'That's my life,' and 'Just watch me dance on cars.'"
Now: When do we get an eyeful of a magnificent Jon Hamm pirouette? Remember his name, Connie Hilton!
