10 Delightful David Lynch Stories
Years ago, when Mad Men was airing on AMC, I had the privilege of meeting “Peggy” (Elisabeth Moss) and “Don” (Jon Hamm) at a gathering. To me, they were more than just actors; they were the embodiment of their characters. I admired them greatly and felt the show’s casting was exceptional, with brilliant writing and an immersive atmosphere. In my eyes, they were Peggy and Don. It was natural for me to address Peggy as “Peggy.”
Fortunately, they didn’t seem bothered by it, as I learned later. In Cologne, Germany, we even shared drinks together, and in Paris, I had a chance to socialize with Peggy on various occasions with my wife.
Fast forward a few years, during an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Moss shared her version of the story. According to her, from our very first drink, I referred to them as Don and Peggy, and this continued throughout our interaction. Later, she recounted, I emailed her as “Dear Peggy” and signed off with a warm greeting to Don.
