Who is January Jones<\/h2>\n

January Jones is an American actress<\/a> best known for her role as the icy-yet-complex Betty Draper on Mad Men (2007\u20132015), a performance that earned her two Golden Globe nominations and an Emmy nod\u2014because playing a chain-smoking, emotionally repressed housewife isn\u2019t as easy as it looks.<\/p>\n

She later showed off her comedic chops as Melissa Chartres in the post-apocalyptic sitcom The Last Man on Earth (2015\u20132018), proving she can survive the end of the world and deliver a punchline.<\/p>\n

Her film credits are just as varied, with appearances in American Wedding (2003), We Are Marshall (2006), The Boat That Rocked (2009), and Unknown (2011)\u2014where she reminded us that nothing says mystery like a blonde with secrets.\u00a0 She also suited up as Emma Frost in X-Men: First Class (2011), because why not add mutant powers to the r\u00e9sum\u00e9?<\/p>\n

Her Early Life<\/h2>\n

January Kristen Jones was born on January 5, 1978, in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, to Karen Cox, a store manager, and Marvin Jones, an exercise physiologist.\u00a0 Her name was inspired by January Wayne, a character from Jacqueline Susann\u2019s 1973 novel Once Is Not Enough\u2014because apparently, dramatic names run in the family. She grew up alongside her two sisters, Jina and Jacey, keeping the \u201cJ\u201d theme going strong.<\/p>\n

In 1979, the family relocated to the small town of Hecla, South Dakota, before eventually moving back to Sioux Falls in 1996.\u00a0 There, January finished high school at Roosevelt High, setting the stage for a future far beyond the South Dakota plains.<\/p>\n

Modeling Career<\/h2>\n

January Jones kicked off her career in New York at 18 after being scouted while still in high school\u2014though she\u2019s the first to admit modeling wasn\u2019t exactly her dream job. In fact, she never really took it seriously. Her first agency apparently took it very seriously, going so far as to claim she owed them money when she decided to ditch the runway and head for Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

\"January<\/a><\/p>\n

Still, she made her mark before leaving the fashion world behind, modeling for brands like Abercrombie & Fitch, Versace, Clearasil, and K\u00e9rastase. She also graced the covers of a long list of fashion magazines from around the globe\u2014Interview, Allure, Rolling Stone, Town & Country, The Hollywood Reporter, GQ, and W in the U.S.; Harper’s Bazaar, Marie Claire, Tatler, Glamour, and Red in the U.K.; Cosmopolitan in Germany; and both Grazia and Tu Style in Italy. Not bad for a job she wasn\u2019t even that into.<\/p>\n

Acting Career<\/h2>\n

January Jones got her start in acting the way many do\u2014through TV commercials.\u00a0 Despite having zero high school theater experience and no formal training, she discovered she had a knack for it. After a few roles in television pilots and a short-lived cable series, she made her big-screen debut in All the Rage (1999), an indie film that, ironically, didn\u2019t generate much rage\u2014or even a real release.<\/p>\n

She followed that with a minor part in the teen thriller The Glass House (2001), but her first real brush with attention came in Bandits (2001), playing a near-silent beauty who catches the eye of Jane Fonda\u2019s son (played by Troy Garity).\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t exactly a breakout moment, but it got her noticed.\u00a0 At the time, she was also wrapping up a three-year relationship with a then-rising Ashton Kutcher\u2014so her personal life was getting just as much press.<\/p>\n

Jones landed her first major leading role in Love\u2019s Enduring Promise, playing the eldest daughter of a pioneer family who falls for a mysterious man that saves her father’s life.\u00a0 But it was Mad Men that truly launched her career.\u00a0 For seven seasons, she captivated audiences as Betty Draper Francis, the glamorous yet troubled 1960s housewife with a flair for icy stares and emotional repression.\u00a0 Her performance earned her two Golden Globe nominations and an Emmy nod\u2014proof that playing emotionally complex was kind of her thing.<\/p>\n

She also brought humor to the big screen as Cadence Flaherty in American Wedding (2003), the third American Pie movie, where she played the love interest of both Stifler and Finch\u2014a delicate balancing act few could pull off.\u00a0 Around that time, she popped up in an episode of Law & Order as a cunning con artist, proving she could be just as convincing on the wrong side of the law.<\/p>\n

Jones later joined the cast of The Boat That Rocked (2009)\u2014a British comedy about pirate radio in the ’60s\u2014renamed Pirate Radio for its U.S. release (because apparently Americans need things spelled out).\u00a0 Then came a busy 2011: she starred opposite Liam Neeson and Diane Kruger<\/a> in the thriller Unknown, played alongside Nicolas Cage and Guy Pearce in Seeking Justice, and suited up as the telepathic, diamond-skinned Emma Frost in X-Men: First Class.<\/p>\n

From 2015 to 2018, she brought her comedic side to the Fox series The Last Man on Earth, playing Melissa Chartres, a woman navigating life in a post-apocalyptic world (and proving that even the end of humanity needs a bit of glam).<\/p>\n

In 2019, she joined Netflix\u2019s The Politician as Lizbeth Sloan, a fabulously bored rich housewife.\u00a0 And in 2020, she switched gears again in Spinning Out, playing Carol Baker, a former figure skater and single mom struggling with bipolar disorder. Though the series only lasted one season, her performance once again showed her range, depth, and ability to steal a scene, even off the ice.<\/p>\n

Facts and Trivia<\/h2>\n

Back in the late \u201990s, January Jones and Ashton Kutcher were both fresh-faced models working for Abercrombie & Fitch\u2014and yes, they dated during that era of moody black-and-white catalog photos.<\/p>\n

One of January\u2019s all-time favorite actors is Robert Stack (think Unsolved Mysteries).\u00a0 When she was dating Jim Carrey in 2002, he went full thoughtful boyfriend mode and gave her a birthday gift that was both quirky and cool: an autograph from Stack himself.<\/p>\n

Speaking of mysteries, she\u2019s a fan of them, so much so that she believes she\u2019s seen a UFO.\u00a0 She also has a tattoo that reads \u201cBellatrix,\u201d which is Latin for \u201cfemale warrior.\u201d\u00a0 Fitting for someone who\u2019s played everything from a 1960s housewife to a mutant telepath with diamond skin.<\/p>\n
