Mad Men: Cast & Creators Live at PALEYFEST by Jon HammDVD
Taking a critical look back at the freewheeling advertising industry of the 1960s, Mad Men has inspired fevered devotion in its fans with its seductive portrayal of the profligate lifestyle that characterizes the milieu and its searching, soulful examination of the changing values of the times and the human cost of the American Dream. This William S. Paley Television Festival live event honors Mad Men, the drama series about the goings-on at a New York City advertising agency in the 1960s, centering on high-level executive Don Draper. Elvis Mitchell (host, K C R W's The Treatment) moderates the following panelists: series creator/executive producer Matthew Weiner; and cast members Jon Hamm ( Don Draper), January Jones ( Betty Draper Francis), Kiernan Shipka ( Sally Draper), John Slattery ( Roger Sterling), Vincent Kartheiser ( Pete Campbell), Jared Harris ( Lane Pryce), Robert Morse ( Bertram Cooper), Aaron Staton ( Ken Cosgrove), Rich Sommer ( Harry Crane), and Jay R. Ferguson ( Stan Rizzo). The panelists touch on such topics as: how Weiner judges if a script is a success; the game-changing scene which Hamm and Jones hesitated to act out; and why the show will conclude after its seventh season. Questions from the audience then lead to a discussion of the following topics among others: if financial considerations affect the frequency of appearances of supporting characters; why Weiner takes delight as Betty fights dirty; and the emergence of feminism as an increasingly dominant theme.
