CLOSE  After her Emmy award nomination, actress Christina Hendricks talks about missing the 'Mad Men' series and what it means to be nominated for the show for the last time. (July 17) Knoxville-born Christina Hendricks is most known for playing Joan Holloway, the brash office manager on "Mad Men." However, audiences can expect her newest character to be even more cut-throat. This June, Hendricks will voice Gabby Gabby, the vintage villain on "Toy Story 4." In an interview with Collider, Hendricks said that her casting couldn't have been a better fit and hinted at what audiences can expect on the big screen this summer. "I just thought it seemed too good to be true," Hendricks said. "The first time that I went in, they showed me some animation, showed me the doll, and showed me her minions, who are these creepy ventriloquist dolls. I was like, 'You guys have no idea how perfect this is for me. I actually have a weird ventriloquist doll at my house.' Of course, the doll looks like me, so I was in heaven. Not only that, my doll lives in an antique store. I was like, 'You don't understand. I've spent half of my life in antique stores. You guys got in my weird brain.' " According to Entertainment Weekly, Josh Cooley, the director of "Toy Story 4," agreed that Hendricks was the right person to bring Gabby to life. "We couldn't have picked a better person to voice our villain than Christina Hendricks," Cooley said. "It's perfect. She can play such sweet innocence and kindness, and then at the flip of a switch, she can go just so cold and terrifying. It's so much fun." "Toy Story 4" arrives in theaters nine years after the franchise's last movie. The film is full of new faces, including characters voiced by celebrities including Jordan Peele, Keegan-Michael Key and Keanu Reeves, but Knoxville moviegoers have one of their own to watch. CLOSE Woody, Buzz and the rest of the gang are back for Disney's "Toy Story 4." They're joined by a spork who is having a bit of an identity crisis. USA TODAY Hendricks was born in Knoxville in 1975, because her dad, who had a job with the U.S. Forest Service, worked in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. After that, Hendricks and her family moved across the country often because of her father's job, making it difficult to find a place to call home. Hendricks' interest in acting began early after her mother encouraged her to join a local theater group as a way of making friends. After another major move, Hendricks found security in her high school's drama department. Since then, Hendricks has starred as the lead in popular television shows and independent films. "Toy Story 4" will be arrive in theaters June 21. Want to read more stories like this?
