Midge Daniels

Played by Rosmarie DeWitt

A smart, ambitious art illustrator, Midge Daniels is a thoroughly independent career woman – much like the multitudes of women venturing into the workforce for the first time. Midge sets her own rules, rejecting the traditional idea of marriage and domesticity. Such “live in the moment” vitality makes her the perfect bedroom companion for Don. Her anti-establishment friends that come calling might be too much for Don, but she relishes in it. One night, Don Draper realizes that she and Roy are in love, and when he asks her to go to Paris, she declines.
