Message: <blockquote data-quote="southfork88" data-source="post: 389515" data-attributes="member: 200">I remember that in Italy the news of Donna Reed's arrival was accompanied by small photos showing this iconic actress with a captivating smile and a hairstyle only a little more ethereal than that of Barbara Bel Geddes.  They weren't still stage photos, but photos that were a few years old.While I was saddened by Barbara's departure, remember being excited by Donna's introduction.  After the replacement of Digger and Gary I began to understand that wasn't neurofibromatosis or ethanol that changed the characteristics of the characters, but it was a matter of replacement with new actors.  Unfortunarely when Donna arrived, her voice was dubbed by a new actress and nothing reminded me of Barbara anymore.  But I was starting to appreciate her, even though she was so different, also because gossip began to circulate about her as she was snubbed within the group of actors, with the exception of Howard and Susan, both very supportive.  And when Donna filed a lawsuit against Lorimar and died shortly thereafter, I was very saddened.  Even now I cannot tolerate such malice from some Dallas fans.</blockquote>
