[QUOTE="Jock Ewing Fan, post: 427406, member: 40536"] I agree. I thought Barbara Stanwyck should have played Miss Ellie in the first place I think Victoria Barkley was far better as a ranch matriarch on "the Big Valley" than Miss Ellie on "Dallas" Victoria Barkley was strong, independent, and in charge of three alpha male sons (Four, actually), while also being caring and compassionate. And even for another century, she actually dressed like a wealthy woman Miss Ellie was only effective when Jock and/or Clayton supported her. She really wasn't that compassionate She favored two others sons over JR, and then wondered why he became...JR She was happy to live a life of wealth and privilege, but didn't acknowledge what Jock and JR had to do to maintain it. Rebecca Wentworth was a strong woman, and it would have been fun to see her succeed against the Ewings And Victoria Barkley never would have given away SF to a long lost brother who had nothing to do with making it successful, or to an outsider, interloper second husband Before everyone gets out of sorts, I am not blaming BBG. I just didn't care for the Miss Ellie character I thought she was mostly ineffective after Jim Davis passed. [/QUOTE]
