Christina Hendricks at the "AMERICAN WOMAN" premiere
American Woman is an American drama film directed by Jake Scott, with the screenplay by Brad Ingelsby. It stars Sienna Miller, Aaron Paul and Christina Hendricks. Inspired by the headline-dominating kidnapping of heiress Patty Hearst in 1974, this atmospheric drama is a fictionalized re-imagining of her time in hiding, from the perspective of Jenny, a political activist assigned to take care of her.
