Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jock Ewing Fan" data-source="post: 416472" data-attributes="member: 40536">I remember reading the same words.You make a good point.  I would add that Jock Ewing was both an Oil Baron and a rancher, so Donna Reed really wasn't really that far removed from the character.given the context.Plus, Donna Reed dressed more like the wife of a wealthy man, and people in those circles (and others) do talk about how their peers dress.And as a rancher's wife in "Backlash" Donna Reed did dress fashionably.If DR had portrayed Miss Ellie as a BBG carbon copy, she would have been criticized as well.There was no winning with some people.In any case, I appreciate your perceptive, respectful response.</blockquote>
