During an episode of the highly awarded series Mad Men, Christina Hendricks, who played Joan Harris, so preciously sang and played a rendition of “C’est magnifique!” on the accordion. Although her character may have had some questionable feelings about the act, Christina actually opted to play the accordion herself as a lover and player of the instrument. On multiple occasions, she’s praised the accordion, saying things like, “It’s a very romantic instrument, I think. I love it.”
Originally, before the filming of Season 3 of Mad Men, she was called by the writers and asked if she could speak French and play the piano. Her response was, “One, I’ll learn, and two, not piano, but I do play a little accordion.” Of course, they were in love with the idea, thus giving us the iconic scene and revealing just another dollish thing about Christina Hendricks.
