January Jones

What fascinates me about January Jones is her command of stillness. As Betty Draper she turned restraint into a weapon, letting a glance carry the suffocation of a discontented housewife better than any monologue could. I think that quiet intensity traces back to her roots in snowy, sparse Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Plenty of models who pivot to acting lean on their faces, but Jones does the opposite, deliberately muting her beauty to serve the character. She is the kind of performer who anchors a frame from its edges, and I tend to find my eye drifting to her even when she isn't speaking.
