KR, we happily feature any piece that relates to Mad Men. Our contact information is featured in our About section. Dropping into our comments section, a la spam, is most distinctly unappreciated.

I think the character of Betty Draper is a really interesting one… she has so much potential. It's great that the writers are taking their time to let her develop. You can read my Op-Ed article about the character of Betty Draper at the following URL:

Thanks, Not_B, for voicing my thoughts. As for the Globes, they gave Pia Zadora best new artist one year, in part because her husband was a powerful producer. These are not the SAG awards or the Oscars, folks.

I have always wondered what Betty would have been like in the hands of another more talented actress – the younger Hope Davis, or Naomi Watts or Patricia Clarkson. January always strikes me as a starlet dropped into a pool of stage actors. She's certainly picturesque but her lack of skill is apparent in contrast to the rest of this fine cast.

January Jones needs acting lessons? After receiving a Golden Globe nomination? Well, I hope to see more of her next season.

Even established actors continue lessons, workshops & other forms of training throughout their careers. They do improv, get roles in small-time plays in LA & work on their chops–like athletes exercising between games.

Iâ€™ve never been trained as an actress, so itâ€™s all instinct. I just let myself go into this kind of a free fall. Sometimes I feel scared, or out of my elementâ€”like everyone else knows what theyâ€™re doing but me.
