Message: <blockquote data-quote="Frank Underwood" data-source="post: 370572" data-attributes="member: 35">It's sad that Gayle Hunnicutt passed away, but she's likely being acknowledged for being on Dallas because it was once a huge show and it's listed among her credits.Hardly anybody watched the last three seasons of the show, and Vanessa hasn't exactly been a fan favorite on this forum.That's not a knock on Hunnicutt as an actress, but the character of Vanessa felt shoe-horned in (something that often happens in the closing years of long-running TV shows.)  She was also introduced at a time when the producers were obsessed with adding European elements.  Her character was European, yet Hunnicutt was an actual Texan!Hunnicutt was a fine performer just like George Kennedy.  They just had the misfortune of being cast as the show started to tank.</blockquote>
