Actress Sheila Shaw, who plays Jeannie Vogel (Trudy Campbell's mother) on AMC's Mad Men, talks about how relationships have changed since the '60s and her own marketing schemes as a child.
Q: When you first became involved in Mad Men, how much were you told about your character's background?
A: I was told that it was a co-star role -- they said nothing about it recurring. As far as the character goes, all they said was she's "fairly wealthy." So it was a really fun audition, because I usually got called in to play a teacher or a social worker, and I was like "Oh, good. I can dress up!"
