In Honor of Secretary's Day: Great Secretaries of the Past 100 Years

Joan Holloway
If Marilyn Monroe could type 80 words per minute, she would be Joan Holloway (Christina Hendricks) on TV's Mad Men. She will break your heart and fix the copier, pick up your laundry and brew the morning coffee, send flowers to your wife and lie to your mistress, and she will do it all while playing the accordion in heels. If there were ever a reason to show up for work, Joanie would be it.
