Rachel is someone who knows what it’s like to be an outsider trying to pass as normal, just like don. I think in going to her he is acknowledging that he is living in dishonesty, and Roger’s heart attack reveals his existential crisis. Rachel as a Jewish woman, is ultimately an outsider living and trying to succeed within the same unhealthy culture of late 1950s America. She can see don for who he is. Don, having changed his name, and being from incredibly poor/ low class background, is an outsider on Madison Avenue. I don’t think he’s revealed even to his wife anything of his background. As we all know with the 60s and even the Nixon vs Kennedy election, times will be a changin 👍

In Long Weekend, it's fascinating to compare Don vs Roger's choice of mistress. It says a lot about them and their backgrounds and personalities. Roger is a boy in an old man's body. He was born into wealth and works at the company his father founded. His needs were always taken care of, usually with money. So when his wife and daughter age, and they need things beyond the material, he gets squeamish and he cheats. And he does it with bubbly, carefree girls easily impressed by his wealth and power, rather than dive into how he can make his wife and daughter happy with their problems that require more complex and involved answers. Don on the other hand was raised in poverty and is used to hardship. He's not used to success, though, however much he tries to pretend. He's crafted this immaculate image of the confident, quiet, executive with the white picket fence and pretty wife and he's terrified people will find out it's all an act, including said wife (which is why he feels he can't go to her with this). So his choice of mistress is someone who understands hardship. Someone else who feels like an outsider looking in--for example a Jewish woman in the business world or a free-spirited hippy.

Mad Men! Cool. This show was a heavy nostagia trip for me. It hits all the right notes of the era. I was a little girl in 1960, my dad worked in P.R. and also as a photographer. I thank God every day that I got to live through the 60s, good and bad. It was incredible. 🔥🔥🔥
