Last day on the set of Mad Men (x) “It’s been nine years of our lives,” said Elisabeth Moss, who started playing Peggy Olson when she was just 23. “To bring that to a close is definitely something that feels big … You change a lot in your 20s.” Hamm’s scenes in the Oklahoma motel might’ve seemed lonely on screen, but viewers often forget that there’s a big production crew on hand behind the scenes. “There were a lot more people around because everyone was kind of done and like, ‘We’re still at work but there’s nothing to do,’ ” Hamm said. “The significance wasn’t lost on anyone.” January Jones and Weiner share a cheerful moment on set, but Jones insisted that her last day was “awful”: “I’ve never been so attached to someone, or played someone that long,” she said. “It was like someone was dying.” When her character Betty was diagnosed with cancer, Jones’ lament became more than just a metaphor. “In terms of the actors, whose life changed the most? Kiernan [Shipka],” Weiner said of the 15-year-old, who was 6 at the start of the show. “What I felt was, I’m the teacher and everybody’s graduating,” Weiner said (shown here with Hendricks, Hamm and Vincent Kartheiser). As filming wound down, “Everything is so gradual,” he said. “I had like five months ahead of me [in post-production] … so I kind of delayed the end.” “Pretty much changed in every single way” since scoring the role of Joan Holloway Harris “It was a very strange, hopefully proper, hopefully therapeutic process,” Jon Hamm of the final days on set. “Everyone wanted to be there for the end … and register it and be like, ‘This happened.’ ”

It is difficult for a woman to define her feelings in language which is chiefly made by men to express theirs.

Frances McDormand said something extraordinary: ‘We don’t need help, we need money.’

I have an entire bestiary of prizes with bears, dogs, etc. but people still don’t give me funding. As fishermen say, ‘A little less thanks, and a little more money!

this is my mama she’s a pretty cool lady and imma tell you why - basically she “gets” the important stuff in ways that i often overlook. she takes a walk every day and sometimes when i’m with her on these walks or if we’re traveling together and happen to stumble on something beautiful or even if we’re just kickin it on the porch enjoying a nice glass of wine she will always pause to fully take in everything around her and very eloquently reflect on it, while remaining present and enjoying the moment. she has a magical knack for always bringing those *posi vibes* to even the bleakest of situations so when i’m down and out i am always trying to channel her. p much she rocks and fun fact she had me convinced for like 8+ years that fairies were a real thing so congrats mom for pulling that off and giving your kid an unquenchable thirst for fantasy - since then she has remained fully supportive of all my freaky creative endeavors. for that i cannot thank her enough~~ love you mama coll, wish we were strollin the beach together today, takin in all those *moments* together
