The first time the 31-year-old film veteran (she starred in Mermaids
at
age nine) appeared on TV, it was for a seven-episode arc on
Ally McBeal
in 2002. “After that I thought I would really love to
do another
TV show,” Ricci recalls. “I’ve just been waiting for
the right thing to come along.” This fall she returns to the small
screen
as an airline stewardess during the glamorous dawn of jet travel
in Pan Am, an ABC prime-time soap that has been described as Mad Men at
30,000 feet. “What’s interesting about TV is that I
don’t know where the series is going,” explains Ricci, who
is an avid consumer of the medium. “It’s fun to open a
script and wonder
what’s going to happen that week. It’s
almost like being a viewer.”
