Is 'Mad Men' Too Tame? Ad Vet Jerry Della Femina Remembers More Booze, Broads
You might think that "Mad Men" depicts the 1960's advertising world with an emphasis on drinking and womanizing as an exaggeration, but Madison Avenue legend Jerry Della Femina reports to USA Today that the times were even raunchier than the AMC drama is depicting.
"If anything, it's underplayed. …The way we lived really would make the characters in 'Mad Men' all look like 'Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm.' We drank and screwed around." http://www.usatoday.com/money/advert...OE=click-refer |

Wow, that's interesting. Thanks for posting that! I always thought that they kind of exaggerated things to appeal to today's audiences, but there were probably a lot of things going on back then that just weren't talked about. I love Mad Men and it's nice to know that it's pretty realistic.
