[QUOTE="Count Jockula, post: 416494, member: 17"] Irrespective of who was the new Miss Ellie the role was established and would have obviously been compared to the original. I like @Snarky Orcale! 's idea about Nancy Olson in theory. In theory her casting would've have worked i.e. same mould as Barbara Bel Geddes but in practice probably not, just as much as the late Donna Reed. Poor Donna 'couldn't do right for doing wrong' and pancreatic cancer getting her in January 1986 was very sad. You had the last laugh Donna and rightfully so, with your lawsuit. If the role wasn't taken by Donna Reed then Larry's mother Mary Martin or maybe even Nancy Olson you'd have had an opening credit slot occupied by them. Would you care to do your magic [USER=57984]@Snarky Oracle![/USER] with either of these two women. [MEDIA=youtube]1aJpwA0n5SU[/MEDIA] [B]Ellie (Donna Reed) recently returned to Southfork Ranch with Clayton, after spending their honeymoon in Greece. The matriarch intends putting Jock's portrait back at Ewing Oil (the company he built). J.R. disagrees with his very different looking mama. Ellie's two sons are with her; in the living room of Southfork, where Jock's famous portrait is still very prevalent, (a scene from season 7; DVD-8, 1984 - '85): Ellie: "J.R. I know how much you loved your daddy but keeping that painting up there is not going to bring him back. Only our memories can do that and we have a lifetime of those.
