Mad Men – Megan

Q: Don’s proposal to Megan is quite a shocker. Did it ever cross your mind that the season might end this way?

A: No! I was worried that I was gonna fall down an elevator shaft first. Right up until the season finale I was like, “Are you sure this is what you wanna do?” But yeah, it was pretty surprising. … I didn’t want to speculate as to what happened at the end because I felt like I wanted to stay in that mode of living in the moment.

Q: Describe shooting a scene in bed with Jon Hamm…

A: He’s a really great actor to work with because he’s very supportive. What you see is what you get, which is in direct opposition to his character. The scene we did when we’re both in bed — that really intimate scene before he leaves [my hotel room] — was my favorite scene to shoot in the whole season. Or maybe in my life. It’s just so beautifully constructed and so intimate and warm, and it was such a comfortable environment in which to do that.

Mad Men: Peggy

Peggy Olson is interviewed by Spin Magazine.  She is my favorite character on television right now.

Do you remember the first album you bought with your own money?
Britney Spears’ …Baby On More Time. I still love her. You know why? When she hit it big the first time, I must’ve been 15—the perfect age. So for me she represents a very specific time in my teenage years. I assume she’s going to make a comeback. Maybe I’m going out on a limb.

If you were to curate a festival, who would be on the bill?
Oh my god! These questions are hard! Let me think. Is it weird to have Florence and the Machine and Taylor Swift?
