10 Mind-Blowing Facts You Didn't Know About Mad Men
6. January Jones And Christina Hendricks Had Worked Together Before
Thinking of January Jones and Christina Hendricks as anything but stars is a bit of a mind melt, but actors have to start somewhere, right?
For these two elegant Mad Men ladies, it just so happens they got their big break together! It is impossible to deny the beauty of these two. Jones has a blonde, timeless look, and with her dainty structure and soft voice it's hard to imagine her as being cold and intimidating like Betty, but she pulls it off. Hendricks' beauty is more in your face, with bright red hair and a figure you'd kill for. It's no wonder she was the envy of every woman on the show and the dream of every man.
So it's not very surprising that the two got their first roles as sorority girls. The pilot/TV short was aptly named Sorority and it aired in 1999, meaning Hendricks was just 24 and Jones was only 21! The girls were adorable as snobby college girls and even though they only had small roles in the show, their talent and beauty shone through!
Maybe the girls stayed in touch, or maybe they ran into one another at casting and remembered each other. You can see it now, them sat down in a room full of hopeful actors, reminiscing about their past and how far they've come.
