[QUOTE="Jock Ewing Fan, post: 318395, member: 40536"] I thought Donna Reed was quite good as Miss Elly, I don't understand some of the negativity toward her. Donna Reed was quite a noted actress, Her Oscar for best supporting actress, From Here To Eternity, Her role in It's a wonderful Life Her show, The Donna Reed Show, ran for 8 seasons DR bought some style to Miss Ellie. She dressed more upscale, and I thought she was quite good with Howard Keel DR also has some good scenes, as you noted. One such was when she implored Sue Ellen to support JR, Bobby and Ray in their battle to retain Ewing Oil, noting that Sue Ellen and JR had a difficult marriage at times, that JR was still trying to win Jock's approval even after his passing, and that Sue Ellen had a greater ability to heal the marriage, more so than JR. It was more motherly understanding of JR than anything from BBG. Not trying to disrespect BBG, but I wish Donna Reed had been given more support [/QUOTE]
