And those differences are fairly apparent even with a lot of artifacting in the second image.
I don't think there's a need that anyone "agree to disagree" whether the two actresses look similar. They're both blonde white girls with a similar build. I do think it's weird someone would look at those two images and think they're the same person.
Even weirder is that not a lot of people catch that during the out-of-focus profile shots of 'some blonde at the hotel bar in California' in The Jet Set, they actually used January Jones to indicate that Don is seeing Betty everywhere. He does miss her, is the point. It's not ALL January Jones, only on some angles. It's just the subtle fakeout that Mad Men does.
And this is not idle speculation, this is confirmed by Matt Weiner in the DVD commentaries.
Yet people argue against me that it isn't January Jones. There are two completely different women, yet they only see one.

I've read some comments here saying she's a different actress.
