Christina Ricci covers the current issue of Emmy magazine, the industry mag for the Academy of Television Arts and Science. In a gorgeous photo spread, the mostly movie actress tells why she made the jump to television in the retro ABC drama ‘Pan Am,’ which is slated to air new episodes starting on January 8.

“It’s like an ultimate flight of fantasy,” she told the magazine. “We’re women living in 2011 and we get to go way back and dress up every day in vintage clothes and be in a completely different world.”
