Mad Men: The Real Meaning Of Don Draper's Breakthrough With Leonard
After hearing Leonard's story at the end of Mad Men, Donald Draper has arguably his biggest breakthrough—here's why. Donald Draper is an immensely intriguing character played masterfully by Jon Hamm during the seven-season run of AMC's Mad Men. What makes Donald Draper so fascinating is the duality of his character. Don was born as Dick Whitman, an unloved child with a grueling upbringing who leaves his poverty-stricken life to fight in the Korean war. After an explosion kills his commanding officer, a man named Donald Draper, Dick assumes his identity, gifting himself a shot at the American dream and a new start as the talented womanizer Ad Executive Donald Draper.
