January Jones recalls nightmare job

January Jones never gave back the rainbow suspenders from a restaurant job she had.

The American actress is known to audiences around the world as her Mad Men alter ego Betty but now the award-winning show has come to an end, she's taking on more movie roles.

She managed to land acting parts quite early on in her career but does remember a terrible job pre-fame.

"I didn't have a lot of jobs before acting but I had a couple of c**ppy ones in high school. I had one at a pizza restaurant, where I had to roll out the dough for the bread sticks and clean up the salad bar. And one day I just didn't show up, and I remember the manager called me like a hundred times, trying to get my suspenders back. I don't know if I ever gave them back; rainbow suspenders. Yeah, that was bad," January recalled to Collider.

Her latest role is in Andrew Niccol's thriller Good Kill, opposite Ethan Hawke. It tells the story of a family man who starts to question the ethics of his drone pilot job.

Director Andrew did a lot of the character study himself, and even had two drone pilots come in to talk to the cast. But January also conducted her own research.

"For me, [Andrew] had just a lot of printed-out information on post-traumatic stress disorder, and then I just went online and found... I kind of eavesdropped on some chat rooms and stuff.

"The option of actually meeting someone, I think it's a very personal thing when someone's dealing with that, and I didn't want to have to ask to meet someone, I just felt like it sort was an invasion of privacy and sort of silly on my part for an actress... I don't know, I just didn't go that way," she mused.
