Yesterday, I looked at the picture on the left, of actress/director Sarah Polley, and thought, It’s Peggy from “Mad Men.” So then I looked up pictures of Elisabeth Moss, who plays Peggy. And while they may not look exactly alike, they do sort of resemble each other, don’t you think?

Elisabeth Moss Plays “F**k, Marry, Kill” With The Men Of Sterling Cooper
- In the new issue of GQ, “Mad Men”‘s Elisabeth Moss played “Fuck, Marry, Kill” with the men of Sterling Cooper. My guess is that she would kill Pete Campbell, because who wouldn’t if they got the chance, but it’s a toss up as to who she would fuck and who she would marry out of Don and Roger… [The Gloss]

Well Played: Elisabeth Moss’ Blonde Ambition
I know Elisabeth Moss is best known as Peggy on “Mad Men,” but to me, she will always be the woman with the soft voice and the headache in that Excedrin commercial. Just thinking about that commercial gives me a friggin’ explosive migraine. Anyway! Moss has to be kind of dowdy to play Peggy, so I’m stoked that in her real life she’s decided to take the hair bull by the tawny tendrils of the hair horns and go blonde! And short! I think it looks great. What say you?
Elisabeth Moss Doesn’t Have Good Things To Say About Split From Fred Armisen
Super-Short Marriages
Fred and Elisabeth aren't alone in being married for only a hot sec. 13 Photos »
“One of the greatest things I heard someone say about him is, ‘He’s so great at doing impersonations. But the greatest impersonation he does is that of a normal person.’ To me that sums it up … I don’t want to waste any more of my life talking about it.”
– “Mad Men”‘s Elisabeth Moss opens up for the first time about her short marriage to “Saturday Night Live”/”Portlandia” comedian Fred Armisen in Page Six Magazine. Oooh, burn. As for whether the two keep in touch? “Oh, god, no,” Moss said. Yikes. [Page Six]
Stop Asking Elisabeth Moss If Don And Peggy Are Going To Sleep Together On “Mad Men”
Elisabeth Moss: People are constantly asking if [Don Draper and Peggy Olsen are] gonna sleep together. I always get annoyed, because their relationship is more than that. And to keep that going over five years without selling out and having something else happen — that to me is really interesting and rarely done well.
Jon Hamm: People want to put us in a “Sam and Diane” box, but it’s about their mutual appreciation for the work. That’s where the material strikes its resonant chord, when it’s ostensibly about one thing and then it becomes about so much more. That’s the fun thing about Don and Peggy, and that’s the deeper thing about “Mad Men.”
If you thought this was the season that Don and Peggy were finally going to get together on “Mad Men,” you were wrong (again). Which is how it should be. [NYmag.com Vulture]

Absolute “Mad”-ness On Rolling Stone
“Mad Men”‘s Jon Hamm is on the cover of Rolling Stone with three more hot women than his character deserves: January Jones in regal gold, Elisabeth Moss in body-hugging dusty rose, and Christina Hendricks in a little red, five-alarm-fire of a dress. I love how this cover is demure by Rolling Stone standards but it sells S-E-X better than a dozen Jessica Simpsons.
Also, can we talk about the rack on Elisabeth? Girl, where’ve you been hiding those things?! [Rolling Stone] Keep reading »
Elisabeth Moss Out Va-Va-Vooms Christina Hendricks At The “Mad Men” Premiere
Now, obviously, both Christina Hendricks and Elisabeth Moss are extremely lovely ladies. But their characters on “Mad Men” have colored how they are perceived, and the general thinking is that Joan is hot, hot, hot while Peggy is a little frumpty-dumpty. So I was thrilled to see Elisabeth turn the glamour up to 11 at last night’s “Mad Men” season four premiere in a killer green, one-shoulder dress. Meanwhile, Christina wore a black number that felt just a little too covered up and gothy for her. Who’s hot now? That’s right—both of ‘em. Keep reading »
Peggy Olsen’s New Hair Is … Eww
Over the years, we’ve liked the way Peggy Olson’s style has progressed. Until now. Here is an image of her from the upcoming season, and it’s even more disappointing than the season’s teaser poster. Um, who attacked the girl with hairspray? And why so drab? Homegirl does not look good, which is a shame because actress Elisabeth Moss is so adorable. I guess this was the style back then?

Quotable: Elisabeth Moss Is Peggy Olson, Hear Her Roar
“A lot of older fans come up to me and say, ‘I was Peggy’ or ‘my mother was Peggy’. It makes you incredibly grateful for what they put up with. That kind of movement, that bravery, had obviously existed long before the ’60s. It’s hard to imagine how they did it, in a way. I have such admiration for these incredible women. And I don’t think they ever decided, ‘I’m going to break through the glass ceiling.’ The glass ceiling wasn’t invented until later. Peggy just wants to be recognized for who she is. She doesn’t want to be recognized as ‘I am woman, hear me roar.’ She just has good ideas and thinks, ‘Why can’t you listen to my ideas too?’”
