Tell Dr. Kiernan Shipka more about that
May 27, 2013 5:42 AM Subscribe
Kiernan Shipka uses her Mad Men character Sally Draper's experience as child-in-counselling to help other child stars in need of psychological help.
That was great. And it's delightful that Eden Wood especially had a sense of humor about herself.

I was just remarking that both Shipka and Gould look pretty young here compared to how they appear on their respective shows, then I noticed the upload date was October 19, 2011.

Wow I found this totally creepy. But funny! Sort of the uncanny valley of child actor discussion. Too much of the humor cuts too close to the bone, Particularly the toddler beauty pageant girl talking about wanting to be "a regular human girl". Ha ha sob.
With adults this kind of cringe-inducing humor can be funny because you know the comic is self-aware and already processed whatever creepiness he's tapping into to make you laugh nervously. I'm not sure a 10 year old actor really should be Louis CK, you know?
Kiernan Shipka is really something special. I thought maybe it was just that the Mad Men directors are great, but she's really good in this too. And she really is only 14.

Her delivery sounds like a chatter bot made audible, or a interactive voice response system.
"Tell me more about that."
"now let's talk about something else." "let's talk about something else."

A while back, the Mad Men cast was on the Today show, and they asked Jon Hamm some open-ended silly, overly complex question (e.g. "What's the show say about our generational struggle?"), and Hamm, either because he was tired or goofing off, just said, "Kiernan, take it!"
And she did! Total pro. Probably the only one in the group that read the PR briefing.

I want to see prequels. Roger Sterling in the Pacific during WWII. Peggy Olson growing up in 50s Brooklyn.

My personal spin-off heaven: Roger, Joan, Peggy, Stan, and a talking dog drive around in a psychedelically painted van, solving mysteries and fighting crime. Occasionally with the hippest celebrity guest stars from the early 70s.

Cute video, but I agree it's a little too cringe-inducing for me. That said, this gives me hope that Kiernan Shipka will age gracefully into adulthood.
My vote for a Mad Men spinoff is a young Bert Cooper in the '30s, lamenting the rise of the New Deal and carrying on an on-again off-again affair with Mrs. Blankenship (a.k.a. The Queen of Perversions).

Kiernan Shipka and Zosia Mamet doing scenes together? I'm not sure televisions are equipped to handle that much awesomeness at once.

The biggest nitpick I had with this video is Dr. Shipka asks Nolan about addressing imaginary cameras and then they cut to a real camera giving the coverage that is supposedly imaginary! Make it imaginary! Don't cut to it.

You do realize the actress who played Don's neighbor (the one he recently had the affair with) played Velma in the Scooby-Doo movie?

Peggy: "Jinkies! That's not the Witch of the 2nd Ave. Subway. It's Old Lady Dykman!"
Stan & Chauncey: "Zoinks!"
Mrs. Dykman-Campbell: "And I would have gotten away with it too, if not for those meddling Irish!"
Pete: "Hell's bells, Mother!"

I always kind of assumed that Madmen, like the sixties themselves, would end at Altamont. Now I'm just waiting for the plot twists that turn Joan into a Hells Angel and Pete Campbell into a doomed Stones fan.
