      If she wasn't drunk on vodka (cocktails or straight), then she was high on weed. Based on her tipsy behavior and slight slurring of words, I'm pretty sure it was vodka.

    • @justmemadison
      @justmemadison 8 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Weed doesn't make you slur your words; cotton mouth, yes, but slurring usually doesn't happen -- she'd have to be really high which that doesn't seem to be the case. Anyway, just thought I'd say high.

    I first saw Christina Hendricks in Firefly... her performance as YoSaffBridge was fantastic! My reaction to her was just like what Morena Baccarin's character remarked: "You're amazing - who are you?"
    If Joss Whedon wrote that line as a subtle commentary on Hendricks' acting, I'd be impressed (though hardly surprised - I mean c'mon, it's Joss Whedon). 😄

    this was a boring interview, but she is actually a brilliant actor. What she did with her Mad Men role was extremely impressive.

    She gets her head turned to jelly in slow motion with a shotgun in Drive. It's really something else.

    How diplomatic of Stephen not to mention that the film she is promoting is a steaming pile of crap.

      Do talk show hosts ever do that?

      If he did that then she would no longer appear on his show. As a talk show host the point is to make guests on your show want to come back. Trashing their films, even if they deserve to be trashed, isn't exactly endearing.
