Roger Sterling
Served in the Navy in WWII.
Wife Mona (Slattery’s real-life wife Talia Balsam), whose mother lives in Montclair, NJ. Roger and Mona had their wedding reception at the Pierre.
Daughter Margaret (Elizabeth Rice) was age 16 in Ladies Room, so was born around 1943. At that time, she was seeing a psychiatrist because she wouldn’t get out of bed. She had dated two boys; one joined the service, the other committed suicide. At age 18 she became engaged to Brooks.
Roger had nannies as a child; Belva (Belvedere), before that a round-faced German girl with enormous bosoms. Parents got rid of the German nanny after the Lindbergh baby kidnapping in (1932).
Roger had a heart attack on September 2, 1960, and another one in early October.

Talia Balsam indeed looks younger than her years, but Margaret, not Mona, is 16 in Ladies Room…
also, it’s Montclair, NJ

Mell, no, not at all. And PS, I’m gonna pull the comment about Rachel. It’s not a bio-addendum, it’s a post, and one that I’ll put on my to-do list.
