Poor Betty. There's not much she can control in her life, except her looks, her kids... and her reading habits. And boy, does she control them. My favourite Betty quote was when she told her son, who was complaining about being bored:
"Go bang your head against the wall. Only boring people are bored."
Classic. I hope she doesn't get cut from the Mad Men, as has been rumoured, because I love her scenes. Not least because she's so darn pretty...
