[QUOTE="Mustard, post: 388757, member: 46"] Miss Ellie's Southworth roots in the land mean that she is [B]mentally[/B] far more secure in her privileged status than big oilmen are. She is a rancher's daughter first, and that never changed. Miss Ellie's marriage to Jock was a compromise and alliance between Southworth and Ewing outlooks, which still sometimes conflicted. This dynamic gave Dallas a certain fire within the Ewing family. We all saw what happened when Donna Reed played Miss Ellie as the typical oil baron's wife, i.e. it took the conflict out of the Ewing family dynamic, resulting in a strange lack of emotion in Reed's performance most of the time.
