Being Emma Frost

X-Men: First Class is well underway. Little information has leaked out at this point about the film besides cast members and images of the 'Blackbird' jet crash site.
Thanks to the Los Angeles Times' Hero Complex we get some insight from January Jones on what it's been like to portray the diamond studded mutant, Emma Watson.
“Emma was a bespectacled, mousy child who had this power when she was young that she couldn’t quite harness, the telepathy, the mind-twisting stuff,” Jones said. “She had a falling out with her father and went her own direction.”
It wasn’t just learning Emma’s back-story that was important to Jones, but being able to reach hard-core fans. “Fans of the X-Men comics have a very set idea of these characters in their heads,” Jones said. “I wanted to know as much as I could about her so I wasn’t disappointing anyone. I’m sure I will still disappoint someone.”
If her attire under that large white coat resembles anything of what her comic counterpart wears, I don't think fans will be disappointed in the least.
January also discusses how her character on AMC's Mad Men differs from the White Queen, despite the time periods being very similar.

January Jones is not a very good actress. She's not terrible but she's pretty one-note. She hosted an episode of SNL and it was a disaster because she can't be funny.
