Aw, these stories are disappointing to hear. I love her on Mad Men. She's so good in that role.
hal9000, what did she do to her dog? I hope she didn't abuse it. I don't think I'd be able to watch her in anything again if that was the case.

I only knew who she was before Mad Men because I'm a fan of Josh Groban and I knew they were dating. I think the only thing I saw her in before was Anger Management, where she played a crazy pseudo-lesbian pornstar. I think she's awesome as Betty but I have no opinion on her one way or the other.

I just started watching Mad Men. She's very good in her role.
She looks more like Grace Kelly than Gwyneth Paltrow ever did. Or at least she actually seems to have the same luminous skin that Kelly had --meanwhile Gwyneth Paltrow always looks like she needs heavy doses of moisturizer. Whenever I see Jones, I kind of imagine she's the version of Gwyneth Paltrow everyone kept describing in those magazine spreads (i.e exceptionally beautiful, poreless skin, perfect eyes, graceful, aristocratic looking, capable of great acting without saying a word, nuanced, subtle while actually conveying expression, elegant even while shooting a bird, smoking a cigarette, or sitting next to a psycho looking kid, etc), except her name is actually January Jones. I do laugh at her name though. It sounds kind of dumb to me.
I'm sorry to read that she sounds kind of nutty in real life because I do think she's a very good actress and it's hard not to stare at her when she's in her Mad Men costumes.
Everyone on that show is quite good actually.

But she does work to raise awareness of the disappearance of sharks and ocean over-fishing! I can't hate her! Unless she was mean to a dog.

Yeah, that's how I feel. If she's bitchy and stalkery with her ex-boyfriends, I can get over it. Being mean to animals is a whole other thing though.
Love her on MM. Can't wait to see the new episode tonight.

I also think she's talented. I like the way she seems to underact her scenes.
I know she's considered beautiful, but there's something just too perfect about her. Honestly, I wouldn't call her beautiful. Absolutely, exquisitely pretty and perfect as Betty, but she's too flawless to be beautiful, if that makes sense.

I do tend to think she's prettier as Betty Draper than as herself. She has somewhat of a chameleon-like face, it seems. She looks different in every picture I see of her. Either that, or she photographs differently in a still than she does on film. I am biased in favour of the Betty Draper look though.

She gave a really interesting interview to Jack Nicholson in, well, Interview. The photos are a little too high-concept for my tastes. She really does look so much more gorgeous as Betty. I haven't re-read it yet but there was a slightly nuts quality from what I remember. Her name is so awesome. And I'm not just saying that because she's named after a Jackie Susann character. It's like with the kids from Gossip Girl - I kind of can't believe their names are real because they're so soap opera-y already. Maybe their parents knew somehow.
