I think it's official, every actor has left the movie industry, lol. It looks as though this is the pilot season 50% of hollywood turned away from movies and straight to tv. I first fell in love with Christina when I was 10 and saw Casper, and it has been a tumultuous affair ever since....

In her first major TV gig, Christina Ricci has closed a deal to star in ABC's drama pilot Pan Am. The project, from Sony Pictures TV, writer Jack Orman and director Thomas Schlamme, is a sexy soap set against the Jet-Age about pilots and flight attendants working at the iconic Pan Am airline in the 1960s. Ricci will play the lead, Maggie, a fiery stewardess who is leading a double life - on duty she is a beautiful, perfectly groomed and poised stewardess, and off duty she is earthy, bohemian living among the beatniks and intellectuals of Greenwich Village. Exec producing are Orman, Schlamme and producer Nancy Hult Ganis, a former Pan Am flight attendant.
