Elisabeth Moss rose to fame with her depiction of Peggy Olson, an ambitious secretary on AMC’s hit show Mad Men. Throughout the series, Olson fought against the sexist double standards of the 1960s advertising industry to become one of the most valued writers at Sterling Cooper. Elisabeth garnered numerous awards and nominations for her multi-faceted role. She won an Emmy and a SAG award for her depiction of the career-driven woman.

In 2014, the TV star found more success over the pond when she starred in the Sundance-darling Top of the Lake. Moss won a Golden Globe, a Satellite Award and a Critics’ Choice TV Award for her work on the series.
