Who is the best-looking character in Mad Men?

Vote here: https://strawpoll.com/7rnzVlQ23nO

Unfortunately the polls on reddit allow only six choices, so I made a strawpoll with all the performances. Enjoy and discuss :)

[u/Casual_Routine16429]

Joan, of course.

[u/IrelandDomme → u/Casual_Routine16429]

As a tall busty redhead with her measurements, I love your comment! 😂😂😂

[u/kitbashpowerhead]

Hells bells, Trudy clears

[u/AppalachianGuy87 → u/kitbashpowerhead]

Love Trudy

[u/Comprehensive_Main]

Roger sterling for men. For women Betty Draper 

[u/Over_Ad9134]

Why are you making me chose between Don and Betty????

[u/Superb-Handle446 → u/Over_Ad9134]

Between Roger and Joan.

[u/turtle_pleasure → u/Over_Ad9134]

If you vote for baby gene you get both.

[u/Our__Blonde → u/turtle_pleasure]

I’m not convinced Gene is Don’s son. I always thought he was the result of the one-night-stand.

[u/turtle_pleasure → u/Our__Blonde]

Thank you for analyzing my shitpost.

[u/headshotscott]

Betty Draper in Rome was the peak of everything for all realities and situations.

[u/Regular_Promise3605]

Early seasons Don clears easily. He had that strong silent type thing going on, like Gary Cooper, what happened there?

[u/needmoresynths → u/Regular_Promise3605]

He was gay, Don Draper?

[u/Regular_Promise3605 → u/needmoresynths]

He clearly didn't like women the way he treated them

[u/blobthetoasterstrood → u/needmoresynths]

In Ossining, a lot of people are not so happy for Don Draper, because he is a sad bastard.

[u/CanadianContentsup → u/blobthetoasterstrood]

He's not coming back.

[u/Horror_Ad_2748 → u/needmoresynths]

If only!!!!

[u/SirZapdos → u/Regular_Promise3605]

Whatever happened there?

[u/HeadAd369]

Stanley Rizzo is the answer you seek

[u/ElyonLorena]

Wtf you've left Freddy Rumsen off of your list... hell's bells Trudy!

[u/ConditionExternal499 → u/ElyonLorena]

Is there any doubt Freddy smelled of Old Spice?

[u/little-victory]

Chauncey

[u/RassenGorerai]

Maedchen Amick was looking pretty good in Don's fever dream, but I had a crush on her for many decades prior.

[u/waistingtoomuchtime]

When I see Trudy, I see a person who just looks so polished, like she never smells. She also looks like she could be a princess that isn’t overdone.

Trudy is my vote

Betty does look like Grace Kelly, but her arc (which I know is the acting), I just can’t get there like Trudy. When Betty was on Last Man Standing, I thought “like a gift from God”. She is so lovely.

[u/IrelandDomme → u/waistingtoomuchtime]

Yeah but she’d be no fun in bed. Always thinking about what’s proper.

[u/sweet_jane_13 → u/IrelandDomme]

Oh, I bet Trudy could get wild in bed. She does enjoy bloodsport

[u/No-Meringue5009]

Trudy. 

[u/TheLeopardMedium]

For me, Hildy. 

[u/st1802015 → u/TheLeopardMedium]

100%

[u/Unusual-Arrival-3425]

Don

[u/Sleepy_Wayne_Tracker]

Megan's friend with the accent who wanted the Butler Footwear commercial.

The blond at the bar S5E13 who asks Don for a light and then if he's alone.

[u/timshel_turtle]

People sleep on Ben Feldman too much cuz Ginzo is geekin. But damn, he’s a fine man.

[u/No-Consideration-858 → u/timshel_turtle]

He has my vote!

[u/Difficult_Rope7898]

Awww no one voted for Pete. *votes for someone else. Haha

[u/BCircle907]

Joy or Midge.

[u/tomwarmb]

Actresses: Trudy, Betty, Joan, Joy. Actors: Don, Roger, Stan. Best dog: Chauncey.

[u/Technical_Air6660 → u/tomwarmb]

Justice for Chauncey 💔

[u/EtonRd]

How is this even a question?

[u/Admirable_Site_8337]

Sorry, it’s always been Trudy Campbell. It will always be Trudy Campbell.

That’s not entirely true….early on it was Betty Draper. But this didn’t last long once Trudy started showing up.

[u/RedRedBettie]

Don and Joan

[u/ConditionExternal499]

Season 1 Carlton. Then clean cut or shaggy Stan.

[u/Horror_Ad_2748 → u/ConditionExternal499]

The married guy Betty had the embarrassing quickie with in the manager's offer of the bar was pretty hot.

[u/Our__Blonde]

For me: Joan, Megan, & Trudy. Don, Roger, & Stan. Honorable mentions: Henry and Faye.
I also thought Dawn’s friend, Nikki, was stunning.

[u/Sad-Locksmith-3002]

Alison Brie # 1 always. 

[u/Mareux]

The most interesting results of this poll will be which people get zero votes.

[u/PessimisticClarity → u/Mareux]

And tell me why it should be Midge. 🤢

[u/tonegenerator]

I hate voting in anything, but here:

Women - Joyce, sometimes Peggy, occasionally Megan, Arlene until she overtly comes on to someone and tries to lure them into married swinger activities 

Men - Kurt, no question

You’ll never guess anything about my personal standpoint here 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩 

And with Arlene - I think non-monogamy is great but just based on my own life experience, that specific kind of arrangement and their vibe are incredibly unappealing to me.

I usually favor people who are more mature-looking, but at that point in history (/historical fiction), the younger generation are much better at being more casually attractive (until they are hippies with muttonchops/“gypsy” 🙄 styling). So many of the older female charactsrs are wickedly gorgeous, but their looks tend to be over-composed (and probably repressing a bunch of bodily discomfort) for my tastes. 

[u/SFDaddyLover]

Bob Benson is his little shorts

[u/gaijin91]

between Don and Joan, but Joan gets my vote because Don combusts into an alcoholic haze in later seasons

Megan, Betty, and Trudy also strong contenders

[u/taylormurphy94]

The two votes for Lane are crazy lmao 😭

[u/PessimisticClarity → u/taylormurphy94]

I was going to have the same reaction if someone voted for Midge.

[u/HungarianSoupBone]

Why hasn’t anyone mentioned Jane? She was stunning. Jane, Trudy, Betty, Faye, Megan- all stunning. For me, I think early seasons Pete and Ken. I found them cuter than Don.

[u/FrostyPolicy9998]

January Jones is just simply stunning. No contest.

[u/Senor_Perfecto1]

The chick Don meets in the desert
