I always like when Mona shows up on Mad Men. I just saw the one where she and Roger go to try and rescue their daughter from a commune. Talia Balsam is such a gifted actress; her style is so natural. I think she's terrific.

Yeah, this woman has always kind of popped up out of nowhere on my favorite shows.
I first saw her on Happy Days when the gang went to California for Fonzie's big break. (jump the shark ep.) They have her with kind of an unusual hair style for the era, a not too flattering bikini, and don't give her much to say during the show, but her face was so pretty, that she really stood out to me.
Then on Taxi, she was Rieger's daughter. I was always struck by how pretty she looked, despite her somewhat somber portrayals. I hadn't even connected her with Happy Days at that point.
Then when I saw her on Mad Men I thought to myself; "who in the name of christ is this, she looks so damned familiar, and I am really attracted to her!?! Searching IMDB solved the mystery.
She has very dark, soulful eyes. They say an awful lot without her having to utter a word. I'm a big fan.
