January Jones Defends Betty Draper, Talks
Motherhood

January Jones' 6-month-old son, Xander, should be counting his blessings his mother is nothing like her "Mad Men" character, Betty Draper Francis.

Jones recently told "Access Hollywood" she "adores" motherhood and said Xander is "doing awesome," but she still has a soft spot for one of television's most terrifying parents.

"I find myself defending [Betty] a lot more often, just because people are pretty hard on her lately," she told The Daily. "All of her actions are justified. Her husband's cheating on her, and then she finds out he's not who he says he is. That probably warrants a divorce."

No arguments there, but she also defends her character's cold and outdated parenting style. "And you know, Sally shouldn't be masturbating at other people's houses or she's going to get slapped," Jones told the site, referring to a scene with her on-screen daughter, played by Kiernan Shipka.

"I don't always agree with [Betty], she has a very volatile relationship with her children sometimes," she told Hollywood.com, adding that Betty's relationship with her daughter Sally is "almost competitive," and she expects it to get worse as Sally approaches her teen years.

"[Betty's] emotional maturity level is hard to understand -- she doesn't deal with certain situations very well," she explained.

Of course, Jones is the opposite of her "Mad Men" character -- she's not resigned to sitting at home taking care of the children and feeling unfulfilled. Jones is a working mother, who began filming the new season while eight months pregnant and later returned to the set when her son was only 6 weeks old.

The 34-year-old actress is a single mother, as Xander's father has never been revealed. Though she told Us Weekly it was difficult to be a working mom and juggle everything, she told The Daily that keeping busy actually helped keep her sane.

"It was a challenging season for me, but I think that having work was really helpful ... I just didn't lose myself into 'baby-world,'" she explained.

Famke Janssen Books Netflix Series

post from TV on HuffingtonPost.com on 21 March 2012 11:27:10 AM. © TV on HuffingtonPost.com

"Hemlock Grove," an adaptation of Brian McGreevy's novel, has booked Famke Janssen and Bill Skarsgard in starring roles. The new streaming Netflix series from horror-loving director/producer/writer/actor Eli Roth is set to debut in early 2013.

"I've been waiting for years to dive into television, and Eric Newman and I founded Arcade to do elevated genre projects exactly like 'Hemlock Grove,'" Roth said in a statement. "Brian McGreevy's novel blew me away, and the material lends itself perfectly to long format storytelling. 'Hemlock Grove' is smart, dark, complex, and at times terrifying."

The 13-episode first season begins with a young girl having been murdered near the former Godfrey family steel mill. People of the town suspect an escapee from a biotech facility while others believe Peter, a 17-year-old kid from the wrong side of the tracks, is responsible. Skarsgard will play Roman Godfrey, an arrogant teen whose mother Olivia Godfrey (Janssen), is the controlling grande dame of Hemlock Grove.

"What's most exciting to me is creating the series for Netflix, which as a feature filmmaker is like telling a story in a new medium," Roth said.

Viewers will remember Janssen from her time on "Nip/Tuck" and as Jean Grey in three "X-Men" films. Skarsgard, the younger brother of "True Blood" star Alexander Skarsgard, will soon be seen opposite Keira Knightley and Jude Law in "Anna Karenina."

"Eli Roth is a master of this genre and Brian McGreevy's brilliant novel gives Roth a world where he can create his magic," Ted Sarandos, chief content officer at Netflix, said in a statement. "'Hemlock Grove' is a sly blend of J.D. Salinger and Mary Shelley and will appeal to a broad base of fans captivated by these rich characters and stunning visuals."

This isn't Netflix's first streaming series. "Lilyhammer," starring Steven Van Zandt, premiered in February 2012, "House of Cards" starring Kevin Spacey is in development and a new season of "Arrested Development" is set to debut in 2013 prior to the feature film.
