January Jones Says Playing Mentally Unstable Characters Is A 'Theme In My Career'

January Jones made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Thursday night (January 9) and dished about her low-key birthday celebration!

“Usually, I do a party and I was gonna do a party. A Bingo-themed party. And then, I felt like it was a lot of work and it makes me sound really old,” the (newly) 42-year-old actress expressed to Jimmy.

January then talked about her newest acting project being Netflix‘s Spinning Out — a show about competitive figure skating.

As Jones described her stage mom-like character, “I have two daughters who are now competitive figure skaters, and I’m their mom. And I’m like a skating mom, like I’m very competitive for them and I want them to live out my dreams that I didn’t get to.”

“She’s also very mentally unstable. This is a theme in my career,” January joked, teasing about her iconic Mad Men character, Betty Draper.
