January Jones interview

JJ has a brief interview at the PEOPLE site: http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20292550,00.html

Funny - she says Betty spends most of her time working with kids, the dog - and Jon Hamm, who's sort of in the same class, lol. Nice to see her laugh; she seems so much younger than Betty.

Thanks, AA...cool to see JJ as just herself!

We're so used to seeing her as crazy Betty!

Something about her in that clip reminded me of a young Joanne Woodward...and I agree, nice to see her laughing and happy.

I just read the elle article and in the first paragraph it says that Betty is seven months pregnant when the show starts again. That's barely a time jump at all!

.....I knew it!!

I think we'll be in the spring, of 1963.....

After the Kennedy tragedy.

.....Oh, God, she does need "hair help."

I'm coming, Jan!!! I got hair spray, and gel, and god knows WHAT!

Well, that's great...I was hoping they wouldn't skip '63!

Thanks, jane.

Dry - the Kennedy tragedy was in the fall of 1963 (unless you live in Australia I suppose). I'm glad the show will take place during that time. Such a pivotal time in our history.

I can't help but think that Bert Cooper would be a Democrat today, wouldn't he? I find it odd that he would support Nixon when he seems so progressive. Or am I applying today's definitions inappropriately?

.....Did I say that? OMGosh I am rolling! Obviously my brain was not connected to my fingers just then.

Good catch!

Yes, I agree SC-a young Joanne Woodward or may be the Hitchcock girl in 'North By Northwest'...can't remember her name but gorgeous.

Eva Marie Saint...and yes, she (JJ) kind of brings her to mind, also...esp. when she has her hair styled for MM...elegant and very regal.
