I've tried to look up and down to find interviews or quotes from Matt Weiner discussing the impetus and origin of Don Draper - when writing the pilot, before the show and before his work on Sopranos.

Where does someone come up with the idea for such an amazing layered character?

I'm trying to find similar inspiration for my own pilot.

Is it safe for me to say the got the idea from The Great Gatsby?

has no one noticed that betty was sexually abused as a child by her father and her comments about sandy to her husband were related to her own childhood abuse? I found her comments to be out of character for her and suggest she may be having some form of meltdown or breakdown..has anyone made this connection?i have not read anything related on the chats or blogs.

the club Hendricks mentioned was the Electric Circus, and it was a club in the village in the 60's
went there alot, stoned most of the time. but it was not the modern day one that people are talking about
the writers were not incorrect!

Seriously, I do not get her character at all.
Irrational retardation all over the map.
Am I the only one who wants to shoot her face off?

She's acting as if she's been a saint throughout the whole marriage with Don.
Sure she didn't cheat on him with another man (Though that is open for interpretation, some would say she did) but that's not the only way to inappropriately act in a relationship.
She becomes more and more of a nightmare and continue to do things that would potentially leave mental scars on any child.
Her children (well at least Sally) hates her and with good reason.

She can be as angry at Don as she wants but taking it out on the children just puts her higher and higher up on my list of TV characters that I hope will die in a huge fire.
Ok that's not true, she's been at the very top since season 2 (currently at episode 5, season 4).

It doesn't matter that this was a different day and age, ******** are ******** no matter how or when they were raised, and she's not just acting that way due to the times.
I really can't find anything to say in her defense.
She's an empty and bitter person who is in no position to raise children.

It's the 1980's and Don faces his toughest challenge yet - selling the world on 'Stuck on You' Garfield toys...

We're interviewing "Mad Men” stars Christina Hendricks, Jon Hamm and January Jones on Saturday. What should we ask them? Leave your question in the comments, and it could be answered on "Extra"!

Jon Hamm is Batman!

Jon Hamm is an amazing actor. Kevin Smith has gone on record to MTV endorsing this guy for Batman. "He's always brooding on that show. He comes off like Bruce Wayne," said Smith. "That voice of his—the Don Draper voice—that's f---ing Batman!"

Here is a cool article written about the idea:

I know that people bring up the age issue all the time, but I don't think it's that big of a factor.

I think that if Bruce Wayne were to pop out of the comic-book, he would look like Jon Hamm.

aprileshowers (posted this on IMDB back in July): The Mad Men writers have already referenced Don Draper as Batman as far back as season 1x03, "Marriage of Figaro," when Harry Crane says of Don: "Draper? Who knows anything about that guy? No one’s ever lifted that rock. He could be Batman for all we know."

In the same episode, Don is later gifted with a pair of knight cufflinks in continuum of the Dark Knight theme.

Psychologically, not only does Hamm evince the dark brooding of Batman, physically overall, with a superhero square jaw and a broad-chested 6'3" frame (Mad Men asks that he not build muscle mass since he portrays an office executive from the 1960's), he inspires reference to Superman, as well.

I'm on team: Jon Hamm for Batman! What about you?
