Best Surprise
Meeting my husband [Saturday Night Live's Fred Armisen] when my costar Jon Hamm hosted SNL. I woke up one day, got a call to appear in a sketch, and before I knew it, I had met the guy I'll be with for the rest of my life.

Best Saturday Afternoon Read
My book club recently fell in love with Francie, from Betty Smith's A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. She's an optimist in the face of heartbreak.

Best Forgotton Custom
The gloves women wore in the '60s need a comeback. When I slip on Peggy's white silk ones on Mad Men, I feel so feminine and sophisticated.

The Best Way to Break a Sweat
I trained in ballet for years—it's the most rewarding exercise you can do because it works you from head to toe. It's cardio, strength, everything.

Bet on yourself. Always.
