It's been approximately 36 hours since the last episode of 'Mad Men,' which means you're probably experiencing some sort of Christina Hendricks withdrawal. Fortunately this YouTube clip (after the jump) of Hendricks making a 1999 appearance on MTV's 'Undressed' came across our computer screens last night, and watching it is guaranteed to soften the crash considerably.The night-time soap 'Undressed' ran from 1999 to 2003 on MTV. It was built around a series of vignettes about twenty-somethings and teenagers -- straight and gay, of all races, wearing all sorts of sleep outfits -- talking about the merits of various sexual liaisons. While the acting was often a bit wooden and the dialogue stilted, it nonetheless provided plenty of late-night entertainment for those watching.
In this clip from season 1, Hendricks plays a 17-year old who might not be emotionally ready for the sex she's having with the rapper she met at the bus station. Her portrayal of an awkward, not quite fully developed Rhiannon is far removed from the assured Joan Holloway of 'Mad Men.'
Lots of today's stars got their start on 'Undressed.' Adam Brody ('The O.C.'); Chad Michael Murray ('One Tree Hill'); Marc Blucas ('Buffy the Vampire Slayer'), Brandon Routh ("Superman Returns'), Autumn Reeser ('The O.C.' and 'Entourage') and Katee Sackhoff ('Battlestar Galactica') appeared on the show, according to the UndressedTV website, where you can watch episodes from season 1 for free.
