My husband Don is in advertising and is always playing around with new gadgets. He was first on the block to get a movie camera but I have to nudge him to pull it out for family occasions. Here's some footage he took at our daughter Sally's birthday party a couple of years ago, which will give you a glimpse of what our house looks like. It turns out he wasn't the only one with a camera that day, someone was making a movie of him!
Lady of the House
- Betty Draper Francis
- Westchester, New York, United States
- Welcome, neighbor. Make yourself comfortable. I don't usually like to talk about myself, but since you asked. I wasn't always a happy homemaker. I was a fashion model until I met my first husband Don on a photo shoot. He was the copywriter on an ad for a Russian Blue Fox coat I was modeling. After the shoot, he saw I didn't want to give the coat back. He asked me out. I said no. Three weeks later, the coat arrived at my apartment and soon I was married and expecting our first child, Sally. Then Bobby came along. We moved to the suburbs, for the sake of the kids. Another boy Gene came along and life got even more complicated. I'm now married to Henry who's been in New York State politics forever and is now running for office. We have a beautiful house in Rye, which I've decorated in the latest 1960s fashions. I couldn't be happier. I guess you could say my life is just about perfect.
