About January Jones
You may have recognized her from Mad Men on AMC, when she played the lovable homemaker Betty Draper. She is the porcelain-skinned, demure Grace Kelly personified, and she is stunning on TV whether she is portraying a gullible 1960s housewife or an overly sexy accent enthusiast. January Jones is probably glad she didn’t follow the advise of an annoying ex-boyfriend who suggested she give up acting.
The Page And Head Turner
January was called after the well-to-do virgin in Jacqueline Susann’s novel Once is Not Enough because she was descended from a classic figure. Her early career, however, was not as spectacular as that of her fictional alter ego. At a Dairy Queen in South Dakota, January was asking customers if they wanted a single or double scoop. The bombshell, however, found work as a model for the well-known cute apparel company Abercrombie & Fitch after relocating to New York at the age of 18.
But January wasn’t keen on wasting her career by posing, so she quickly moved to Los Angeles to pursue her dream of becoming an actress. In January, she made her acting debut alongside some of the best in the business, including Jeff Daniels and Anna Paquin in the independent film All the Rage (1999). However, January would shatter the glass ceiling two years later and win her big break in The Glass House playing opposite Leelee Sobieski.
The Goof And The Beauty
January, the sexiest blonde newbie to Hollywood, immediately rose to fame and became the center of attention for many. While January moved to Hollywood in 1998, they reconnected after their initial encounter when they were both modeling for Abercrombie & Fitch, and the two started dating. But he did little to advance her fledgling acting career. He said, “I don’t think you’re going to be good at this,” she said in a GQ interview. Before she went on to have another long-term relationship with musician Josh Groban, which ended in 2006, their romance lasted for three years.
Driving Men Mad
Although she was already well-liked by her male coworkers, January quickly rose to fame in the Hollywood film industry after acting in Bandits (2001), Anger Management (2003, 2004, and Love Actually (2003), as well as Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights (2004). But three years later, January would be cast as Betty Draper in Mad Men, a role that would define her young but hugely successful career. January gained fame and access to the red carpet thanks to her portrayal of a jaded 1960s housewife for a Madison Avenue advertising tycoon. The hit show received more than 16 Emmy nominations, and January received nominations for Best Actress at the Golden Globes and Emmy Awards.
January has a history of dating funnymen off-screen, and her 2010 relationship with Jason Sudeikis, a cast member of SNL, was no exception. Although the two broke up in early January 2011, there will undoubtedly be guys waiting in line to deliver a punch line to snag this classic beauty.
“The minute you tell me I can’t do something, that’s when I’m most motivated.”
