Who played Sally Draper on Mad Men?

The story behind the answer

Who played Sally Draper on Mad Men? The answer is Kiernan Shipka. She portrayed Sally, the daughter of Don and Betty Draper, across the series’ run from 2007 to 2015.

Shipka was a recurring guest star during Mad Men’s first three seasons and became a series regular beginning with season four. Sally’s story grows substantially as the show moves through the 1960s: she begins as a child observing the tensions in her parents’ marriage and gradually becomes a more independent, rebellious, and perceptive teenager. Shipka’s performance helped make Sally one of the show’s most memorable younger characters.

Shipka later became widely known for playing Sabrina Spellman in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. A frequent casting mix-up is confusing her with January Jones, who played Sally’s mother Betty; Elisabeth Moss played Peggy Olson, while Christina Hendricks played Joan Holloway. Shipka also shared Screen Actors Guild ensemble wins with the Mad Men cast in 2008 and 2009.
