"Watch her in interviews "

I saw her on Jimmy Fallon and she was funny and animated.

Hope this is a good role for her.

Oogle, your theory might hold water if Betty were a one dimensional character, rather than one of the most layered and complex characters on the show. Not only does she show Betty's metamorphosis throughout the series, but she shows multiple sides to her character just in one scene. I'm wondering if some people who see Betty as merely an "ice queen" have problems with the way they view women in general,

Though Betty does some things I would never do, like slapping Sally and sleeping with the stranger in the bar, I can relate to some of her feelings as a stay at home Mom and someone who lacks control over her life. I think January plays her beautifully without OVER-acting, as is done too much on television.

Agree with every word you said, Oogle Monster. Still trying to figure out why the Betty Draper performance is so drop-dead great. Coz subtlety is a wonderful thing, but blank passing for subtlety is a problem.

Well I don't think it takes much "acting" for her to transform into Betty Draper. Watch her in interviews (especially the Charlie Rose appearance) and she's as icy, cold, and detached as her character. It's as if Weiner wrote Draper with Jan Jones' non-existent personality in mind. She's beautiful but is a terrible actress. I'll even let her SNL debacle go but she has never impressed me.

I agree with B! I think she is great in Mad Men!

She gave maybe the most wooden performance I have ever seen in Unknown. It was astounding.

I totally think she shines and is at her best when she does more indie work like Mad Men and Three Burials. Her style of acting works best in those kinds of environments.
