Mad Men ...as a 1960s Drama

Description

One day last year (2011) I was watching an old Disney movie on cable-- it was really awful, called "Moon Pilot" -- anyway the star of the piece was an actor named Tom Tryon and there was a scene where he was driving in a big Buick with a young Tommy Kirk. I thought -"They look like a 60's movie version of Don Draper and Pete Campbell! And my brain started percolating... Within a couple of days I came up with this Mad Men homage done 60's style, with as many famous 60's actors and personalities I could think of in the roles.
Top, left to right: Tom Tryon as Don Draper, Jeff Chandler as Roger Sterling, Tommy Kirk and Peter Campbell, Burl Ives as Bert Cooper, Rock Hudson as Sal Romano, Alan Sherman as Harry Crane (with apologies to Rich Somer), a younger Orson Welles as Paul Kinsey , Robert Redford as Ken Cosgrove, and Jackie Gleason as Freddie Rumsfeld.
Bottom row, Left to Right: Grace Kelly as Betty Draper, Gina Lolabrigida as Joan, Joanne Woodward as Peggy Olsen, Dana Wynter as Mona Sterling, Marlo Thomas as Trudy Campbell, Pamelyn Ferdin as Sally, Natalie Wood as Midge, and Eleanor Donahue as Rachel Menken. I'm especially proud of the skyline I created from scratch.
