Crista Flanagan, the voluptuous switchboard operator of AMC's "Mad Men," is making the most of her TV persona with a new retro pictorial in the August issue of Playboy, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reported Monday.

On the cover, she is featured in nothing but panties and a necktie. Inside the magazine, Flanagan, who plays “Lois Sadler” on the hit TV series, is posed in re-creations of 1960s pinups, said the paper.

The 34-year-old actress reportedly told Playboy that she was “trying to capture an era" with the pictures.

"I really did feel like I was re-creating something and that I was bringing to life these women who already posed for Playboy in the '60s.”

“Mad Men” depicts the lives of executives and employees at an ad agency in the 1960s. It will enter its fourth season next week.
