Christina Ricci Up For Role Of Flight Attendant In ABC’s “Pan Am”

Pumpkin actress Christina Ricci is in chats to become the next film star to leap to the small screen as she engages in chats for a role in Pan Am, a 1960s-set series about the once-famous American airline.

Ricci, 31, is currently in negotiations to star in the show — a soapy drama produced ABC — which will follow the sex-fuelled lives of Pan Am’s pilots and stewardesses (as they were known in the pre-political correctness era), The Hollywood Reporter divulged this week.

Pan Am comes on the heels of Mad Men, AMC’s critically beloved but low-rated drama about a 1960s advertising agency, but it’s not the only upcoming series to shamelessly rip-off draw inspiration from the award-winning show: ABC’s rival NBC is preparing Playboy, set in the infamous New York City gentleman’s club that dominated the city’s nightlife scene in the swinging ’60s.
