The actress explained, "It was always an inch at a time and never knowing if the door was gonna close that moment." https://t.co/Iu3uO6gOOI

As you might recall Teyonah Parris had a recurring role on AMC's Mad Men, but she revealed in an interview with Collider how she was never aware of where she stood in

Every time a white person brings up Martin Luther King completely insincerely i think of this iconic awkward hug

they never really gave her anything to do so this isn’t surprising at all, it’s clear no one on the writing staff or production team cared about her character.

anyway, mad men was an overrated bore. very glad she’s on to bigger and better things.

Tbf she does get promoted to office manager

But not 5 episodes later her character disappears :/

It was clear that she was being underused. Wiener and the other writers were so clearly unsure of how to write for Dawn so they didn’t try.

[ohmylol]

I've never seen this show ( maybe one day I will because it is regarded as one of the best but it doesn't interests me lol ) but it seems like they didn't have a plan with her character? Like she was just there when they needed her and that's it and that's so shitty , she deserved better , that's a sign of bad writing imo , a good writer wouldn't do that

Never watched this show but had to say that this lady is beautiful, damn.
