Mad Men - Q&A with Sheila Shaw

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!"
