Where the Mad Men Characters Began and Where They End Up

The heart of this show has been through a lot, but let's start with his beginning too. Under the assumed identity of Don Draper, we meet Don (Jon Hamm) when his career is still pretty fresh and white-hot. As creative director, he's able to charm clients with his words and seduce just about everyone else — which he does, carrying on several affairs. Never mind that he's married with two small children at this time.
