I find her acting very contrived and artificial, like she was trying to channel Bacall or Tierney or even Dietrich.  She reminds me of Lizbeth Scott in the worst way.As far as Lady Jessica, my objection is a bit more abstract. I think the character is the exact moment DALLAS compromised its identity and began copying DYNASTY or FALCON CREST with all that phoney baloney European glamour.  I have no problem with Clayton having a crazy sister, I just wish she had lived in Tulsa and had been played by Dorothy Malone or Ava Gardner or someone earthier.</blockquote>
