Just because some (whether male or female) has money doesn't mean they automatically like wearing fancy clothes and getting their hair done up pretty. I've know a number of wealthier people that dress as ordinary as anybody. Of course, the Ewings aren't your everyday type of wealthy, but I've always viewed Miss Ellie as someone connected strongly to Southfork and therefore quite down-to-earth. Speaking of her attracting Jock, I imagine a simple rancher's daughter way-back-when wasn't too prissy and glamorous. She probably helped on the farm and even if her folks had money, she probably preferred riding horses and tending to the cattle, and didn't need fancy gowns and makeup. Jock loved her because of her admiration for the land and most obviously, her gentile personality.</blockquote>
