“Bruce said, ‘When I first heard the name January Jones, I thought: I need to meet this girl. Marv jones likes to tell a story about Bruce Willis and his daughter’s first major film, Bandits-a bank-heist romp that came out in 2001, when January was 23. Because she will be so pleased-resolutely, ruthlessly, perhaps a tad too gleefully-to prove your ass wrong. Mistake number one: doing what that skeptical boyfriend (as it turns out, a guy named Ashton Kutcher) did and doubt January Jones. She’s so small-give her another beer or two and she’ll be asleep. It’s clear that she’s taking the notion of having fun on her “vacation” very seriously it’s up to me to keep pace. Because by now, January has already finished her first in-flight drink and is giving me a hard time for being slow on mine. “It’s time to relax.”īy the time she’s telling me this, we’ve finished our beers and queso and are sitting in our seats for Los Angeles, and I’m too occupied with figuring out who the “guy I was dating” is to take this story as it should be taken: as a warning. “I’m on vacation,” she says as she navigates a beat-up old Nike-brand roller bag through the crowd of overstuffed patrons. The two of us are headed back to Los Angeles on a seven-thirty flight. So it’s fitting that she’s here tonight, fresh from taping Oprah with Mad Men co-star Jon Hamm and at the beginning of a Labor Day break from shooting the series’ third season. While we wait for a table, she explains that she also feels a bit of nostalgia for this particular O’Hare branch of the chain: She passes through here a lot when taking time off from acting-traveling home, say, to her parents’ house in Des Moines around the holidays. It doesn’t matter that the place is noisy and crowded and the only TV is tucked way up behind the bar and she probably won’t be able to catch the last preseason Bears game. Loves it even though it doesn’t always come in one of those little cast-iron skillets like at regular Chili’s and they don’t have a “red beer” (beer and tomato juice) here like she’s seen at the franchise’s other midwestern outlets. January wants to go to the Chili’s near the H Gates.
