Elizabeth Moss Says Ex-Hubby Fred Armisen Impersonated a 'Normal Person'
"Mad Men" star Elisabeth Moss showed her bad girl side in a Page Six article -- and opened up to the magazine for the first time about her failed marriage to "Saturday Night Live" funnyman Fred Armisen.
Moss admitted, "It's so hard to talk about. One of the greatest things I heard someone say about him is, 'He's so great doing impersonations. But the greatest impersonation he does is that of a normal person.'" She added, "To me, that sums it up."
The two were married in October 2009 and separated eight months later. Soon after, Armisen began dating "SNL" co-star Abby Elliot.
Moss felt slightly bad for bashing Armisen. "I'm probably gonna get a slap on the wrist," she told Page Six. "But I've just been such a good girl. And sometimes you just want to be a bad girl for a minute."
As for the upcoming season of "Mad Men," Moss is thrilled to be back playing Peggy Olsen, the once mousy, now confident junior ad exec.
"I am ecstatic with what happens this season," she gushed. "I think the audience is going to be surprised. For me, it was very meaningful with what happens to Peggy."
