Character Analysis
(Avoiding Spoilers)
Overview… a young, ambitious woman who is very much of her era. Trudy is the loving and supportive wife of Pete Campbell and the devoted daughter of Tom and Jeannie Vogel. Her ambition is funneled primarily into supporting – and, when necessary, pushing – her husband in his professional endeavors and standing out in her social circles. Trudy is driven by appearances, and works hard to create the seemingly perfect family, household, and lifestyle for Pete and herself.
Personality… bright, hopeful, and hard-working. Trudy is dedicated to the idea of family and will work to make it a reality, whether it be decorating her perfect suburban home, encouraging a relationship between her father and her husband, or investigating fertility issues. But don’t mistake her for a pushover, which is something Pete will surely discover if he starts taking Trudy for granted.
