"and the name of the show. So there was a Bring back Dallas with Bring back Miss Ellie.The presenter spoke to Larry Hagman and Susan Howard regarding the two Miss Ellie's and treatment of Donna Reed.  From Larry's own mouth he says Barbara wanted more money and had a manager that thought she had more clout than she did. Apparently BBG's request for more money was refused so she left.Larry says he spoke to BBG afterwards and said why hadn't she gone to him as  he had all the clout and could've sorted it.Susan speaks fondly of Donna Reed and how Larry didn't like her taking on the role of Miss Ellie and that she felt unaccepted by others. Her words, "You know when you feel welcome in someone's home" and Donna didn't.I was under the impression BBG left solely due to health issues which the viewers were led to believe and is mentioned on the video.Larry talks about DR passing soon after being on Dallas and casually says, "that was bad news, but that's showbiz". I was shocked by Larry's response here. Maybe edited? I hope so.Donna Reed's son also spoke to explain how she felt of her treatment and was under the impression the role was hers for good.Lovely scene where he chases Linda Gray on a bike who's clearly taken aback by the presenter's approach.He was known for being a bit crazy, but was a big name back in his days of presenting.</blockquote>
