Message: <blockquote data-quote="JRandSueEllenForever" data-source="post: 105083" data-attributes="member: 141"><p>The show was definitely saying “this is the true Miss Ellie”as I recall Donna Reed was fired after only one season, I guess because Bel Geddes decided to come back, or it could have also been because fans were rejecting Reed as Miss Ellie. Reed sued for breach of contract, I believe. I remember my mother used to hate the way Bel Geddes dressed in house dresses. She said Donna Reed dressed more like a wealthy woman should dress. But wardrobe did not make the woman in this case, as I thought Reed couldn’t hold a candle to the down to earth strength and toughness of Bel Geddes’ Miss Ellie.</p></blockquote><p></p>
