Mad Men’s January Jones Sexy Lingerie Spread in Vanity Fair

Posted on January 3, 2009 with 2 Comments

Mad Men star January Jones leaves her 1960s hoop skirts and crinoline behind for lingerie in a sultry spread in the February 2009 issue of Vanity Fair.

The blonde beauty, who plays Betty Draper–wife of ad exec Don Draper (played by Jon Hamm)–is dubbed the Emmy-winning show’s “Hitchcockian Housewife.”

Proving herself as more than just Don’s trophy wife, she’s stolen our heart with her heartbreaking performance during the series’s stellar sophomore season, where after enduring her husband’s many mistresses and raising his two children, she has her own fling.

“She’s a mystery to me,” Jones, a former Abercrombie & Fitch model and Ashton Kutcher ex, told the magazine of her tortured character. The 30-year-old actress is also up for a Golden Globe award.

Ga Ga: The Beautifully Complex Women of Mad Men Featured in EW’s Best & Worst Issue

Posted on December 19, 2008 with No Comments

There’s only a handful of shows that feature remarkably complex women enduring and reaching for the stars in a man’s world. And this year’s breakout show is definitely AMC’s Mad Men.

Entertainment Weekly gives props to the three lead actresses in the 1960s-era, Emmy-winning show: Christina Hendricks who plays sex pot office manager Joan; Elisabeth Moss who plays secretary-turned-copy editor Peggy; and January Jones who plays vengeful housewife Betty Draper.

“I love that I get to represent these powerful, smart women from the ’60s who tried to break through the glass ceiling,” Moss, 26, who is up for a Golden Globe and SAG award, tells EW.

While Jones, 30, who is up for a Golden Globe, said, “The episode where Betty finally kicked Don out of the house, the response I got from friends and family was ridiculous!”
