The makeup artist told me that it looked like I had a dirty face because of my freckles. I just thought, Oh, I don't know how to take that. I also remember glitter being everywhere.”Jenna OrtegaActor
“We're really spoiled on 'Mad Men.' Lots of television actors use the down season to go out and get creatively fulfilled, but I feel the opposite. Anything else I get to do is just icing.”Christina HendricksActor
