Thanks for the post!

A gifted actress and a person who I respect greatly.

I always thought that Donna and Ray together were an underrated, stabilizing element of Dallas.
It was a huge mistake to write her out of the show.

Some biographical info;

She was born in Texas. She has been married for almost 39 years.

She has served as a Commissioner on the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, and the Texas Commission on the Arts

She is also a screenwriter and a member of the Writers guild of America.
She is the only Dallas Cast member to have written for the Series (2 episodes)

Some trivia.

SH played the first female Klingon on Star Trek, and was the only one with a spoken line.
SH was in the Bonanza episode "The Badge". John Beck played her brother.
SH appeared in the movie, "Moonshine County Express", alongside Morgan Woodward, Maureen McCormick. Willian Conrad and John Saxon.

Happy Birthday, Susan Howard!

One of the few actresses I'd love to have a coffee with. Her stint on Dallas was brilliant along with her chemistry with on-screen husband Ray as played by Steven Kanaly. There was also a genuine warmth between Susan and Barbara Bel when playing their respective characters of Donna and Miss Ellie. A real shame the top brass thought it was a good idea to release the character and actress. Dumb.

Happy Birthday Susan.​

It always irks me that Leonard Katzman felt the need to give Susan her marching orders from the show.

Didn't he see how essential her character was to Dallas? Not just to Ray but for the Ewing family as a whole.

Her friendship to Miss Ellie, Clayton & Bobby helped to strengthen the series.

Truly one of the loveliest Dallas cast members. A Happy Belated Birthday to her. :)
