I have not gotten to the newest episode where they say that but I don't see the similarity at all. Grace Kelly was also a good actress though so I don't think they have anything in common. One of the most annoying things she does in the show Mad Men is when she is trying to act angry, she closes her eyes. Who the hell looks down or closes their eyes when they argue with someone; its insane to watch. Horrible actress.
Due to current economic conditions, the light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off. -

That's Vaughn's fault. He's a terrible director; I thought the dialogue and mood were childish and her role was purely exploitative. January Jones is a very good actress, but you have to watch her as Betty on "Mad Men" to see it.

she's got that princess look, not super sexy or super cute, not funny, great for mad men until her and don have a fight and it just looks silly because of her bad acting, I mean with anyone 111celse we might see some nice soprano time drama but nope, remember edie falco and james gandolfini arguments, wow, watching mad men almost anytime a female actress is on screen they steal her thunder, she's still a great fit for mad men, I mean you can understand why don cheats on her all the time even though she's so "pretty"

She is not a good actress, but I dont think shes that bad either, shes average imo. The fact that shes was nominated for an emmy means nothing btw, awards schmawards. They gave Jenn Lawrence an Oscar (not an inch better or worse than January Jones) so all bets are off.

Can't act worth a damn? I disagree. I've heard others like you say this but never once a I watched her in a role and go she can't act. She is icy but that doesn't mean you can not act. It is in her personality to be icy.
She is no different than many actors. George Clooney is always George Clooney, Brad Pitt is always Brad Pitt, Julia ROberts is always Julia Roberts. The question is do you want January Jones in your movie and if you do you get January Jones. I felt she was great in the Icy roll she played in Xmen.

Brad Pitt = 12 Monkeys, Burn After Reading
George Clooney = Syriana, The American, Up in the Air
Julia Roberts = Erin Brockovich, August: Osage County
If you're "icy" as a person, the whole point of acting is to be able to be the opposite.
Perhaps she hasn't had the chance be anything but "icy" yet, but to liken her to the above mentioned actors and actresses is just ridiculous.
