Is the TV show “Mad Men” based on real events?
Author: admin Category: mad menI want to know if the advertising company is real, if it was based off of another company with a different name, or if it’s entirely made up. I can’t seem to find any information on this at all.
I found this at IMdb for the show Mad Men
"on the National Public Radio program "Fresh Air with Terry Gross," describing how a personal crisis of his was the inspiration for his creation of "Mad Men" (2007)] My inspiration for writing this piece–the first moment of interaction with really where Don was–was: I was 35 years old; I had a job on a network sitcom; it was rated number nine (which means I was basically in Major League Baseball for my job–there's 300 people in the country that have this job, and I had one). I had three children, and I was like what–this incredible life–you know, I was like, 'What is wrong with me? Why am I unhappy? Why is there so much going on in my head that I can't express to other people because it's all awful? And what is enough? And I'm going to die one day.' And I'm looking at it and saying, 'This is it?' It could be an excuse to behave very badly.
