Biography[]
Early life[]
Bobbie was presumably a dancer in her early career as an adult which is where she presumably met her future husband and comedian Jimmy Barrett and then became the manager of his comic shows.
Season 2[]
Jimmy is hired by Sterling Cooper to do TV spots for Utz Potato Chips. Bobbie's relationship with the agency starts out strictly professional, but becomes much more involved after her husband insults an SC client, and Don Draper begins an affair with her. The affair is put in jeopardy when the two have a car accident while secretly driving to the beach together.
While recovering at Peggy Olson's apartment, she sums up her philosophy on making it in a man's world: "You can't be a man", she advises. "Be a woman. It's powerful business when done correctly." Don ends their affair after he learns she's been gossiping about him.
