‘Mad Men’ child star Kiernan Shipka says cast tried to protect her innocence but she “always knew what she was walking in on”
Mad Men child star Kiernan Shipka has spoken about her experiences on the set of the drama, saying the cast were often trying to protect her.The actor, who first appeared in the AMC hit series as Sally Draper at just six-years-old, told the Dinner’s On Me podcast that despite her age, she remembered nearly everything on the show.“I don’t know if it was because my brain and body just decided to remember, like, audition, first day, whole thing,” Shipka said. “I’m glad for that.
I mean, I’m sure there’s some days that are a blip, but that’s kind of everything.”Despite her onscreen parents Don and Betty Draper (played by Jon Hamm and January Jones) not doing a great job of setting a good example for her young character, Shipka said off camera they were very protective of her.Shipka added: “They were so protective over me and my kind of innocence and not exposing me to stuff that was sensitive or more adult.
I always knew what I was reacting to. Like, I always knew what I was walking in on. I just didn’t have to see it over and over again.“I think at a certain point, I was like, ‘Guys, I know what this is.
Like, I’m good. I’m fine.’ But I really, like, admire and respect the way that they handled it. But I do think in my head, I was probably like, ‘I’m mature.
