She plays Lois Sadler, the secretary of Sterling Cooper Advertising Agency. Lois Sadler, a Sterling Cooper Advertising Agency switchboard operator and secretary, was notorious for her disrespectful and unethical behavior. Peggy chastised her for making a disrespectful remark regarding Don Draper’s activities, and she was later dismissed for failing to manage people’s expectations. She neglected to bring Don up to date on client actions, such as comedian Jimmy Barrett’s humiliation of Edith Schilling.
