[QUOTE="Monzo, post: 442742, member: 19949"] I preferred the character of Liz to Stephanie, though I like Lesley-Anne Down more as an actress than Barbara Stock. It was an advantage that Liz knew Bobby, creating a (forced) connection between them, whereas Stephanie was essentially just Leslie Stewart 2.0. As I recall, magazines reported that Larry Hagman and Lesley-Anne Down were neighbors in Malibu and that he had wanted her on Dallas for years. She agreed once the price was right, but I read that she was so appalled by the poor script that she wanted out of Dallas quickly. I wonder if that’s true? A few years after Dallas, Lesley-Anne Down ended up in daytime television—first on Sunset Beach, then on The Bold and the Beautiful—and her character on B&B, Jackie Marone, was that kind of (un)funny diva you often saw in daytime in the 2000's. It’s hard for me to imagine daytime TV being an improvement over Dallas' season 13 for her as an actor. [/QUOTE]
