TORONTO - Canadian "Mad Men" star Jessica Pare says it's been tough saying goodbye to the series.

"We're done and that's kind of painful," the Montreal-raised actress said on the red carpet at this week's Scotiabank Giller Prize in Toronto.

The AMC period drama's final season was split in half, with the first seven of 14 episodes debuting last spring and the rest set to air early next year.

Pare -- who plays Don Draper's wife, Megan -- said it was an emotional time when they finished shooting the last half of the seventh and final season in June.

"It was very teary," said the 33-year-old. "We're fortunate that we get to tell the end of our story. It's not a luxury afforded to many on TV, so I think it's a privilege.

"But I'm going to miss everybody."
