Mad Men

Christina Hendricks as Joan Holloway

Joan Holloway is the Office Manager at the Sterling Cooper advertising agency. She has said that the only way to succeed in the industry is to be more than just a secretary. Upon discovering fellow secretary Peggy’s promotion to Junior Copywriter, however, Joan encouraged Peggy to recognize where she came from or her new job might become difficult. Joan had an ongoing affair with Roger Sterling for some time; she also had an intimate relationship with Paul Kinsey. Her roommate Carol, whom Joan knows from college, has expressed an interest in Joan too, although Joan ignored her romantic overtures.
