I became an adult in an extreme way. I was recently sorting some old photographs and I found another.
I look back at old photographs and videotapes, and I go, Who was I trying to be? Who was I doing this for?
I had already done a lot of research for Rough Riders, keeping notebooks and old photographs. Some of the books were antiques for that time period, with the covers falling off.
I never thought I was particularly good looking. But when I see old photographs, I realise that I was. I do wish I had known that at the time because beauty is power. I didn't realise how lucky I was to be young, beautiful and in Hollywood. It didn't hit me. Every day I woke up, went to the film studio and just got on with it.
The way we dress on 'Mad Men' is so associated with old photographs, with people's parents and grandparents.
My father Bill had a problem with Christmas. Although he appears in old photographs to possess a whippy, muscular frame, he was actually a frail man and usually managed to cause some kind of drama just before the festivities began.
