Faye Miller
Dr. Faye Miller (Cara Buono) is a psychologist and freelance consultant who provides market research for Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce. She is a tough and independent "modern woman" whom Peggy admires. Although she wears a wedding ring, she admits at one point that this is merely a ruse to ward off men. Don, after initially denigrating her approach to advertising, takes an interest in her, and eventually the two embark on a secret romantic relationship. Don later reveals his past as Dick Whitman and entrusts Faye with the information. Faye quits working with SCDP after Don submits a full-page ad to The New York Times saying SCDP will no longer work with tobacco companies (as her firm continues to do so). He also convinces her to use her connections to try and get his struggling firm meetings with clients, which is ethically questionable. After Don impulsively becomes engaged to Megan Calvet, he breaks off his relationship with Faye, who is older and more worldly but lacks Megan's rapport with Don's children. Faye is extremely upset by the news.

Famous quotes containing the word miller:
“Almost everywhere we find . . . the use of various coercive measures, to rid ourselves as quickly as possible of the child within us—i.e., the weak, helpless, dependent creature—in order to become an independent competent adult deserving of respect. When we reencounter this creature in our children, we persecute it with the same measures once used in ourselves.”
—Alice Miller (20th century)
