[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 314117, member: 57984"] Oh, absolutely. Reed likely would have lost the suit, actually, but Lorimar settled to get it out of the press and to avoid the legal expenses (which likely would have surpassed the settlement). But over the years, they tried to turn BBG into the bad guy, claiming that she'd left the show in a fit of artistic snootery and then called the producers after jealously seeing another actress in her role. But Barbara was actually fired when she asked for a raise (her contract was up) and a reduced work week (she'd had heart surgery the year before) at the same time... And she didn't go to Larry for help. In fact, Reed was cut back in her scenes very quickly as the producers realized it wasn't working -- and then they quietly called Bel Geddes and asked her to come back. So, yes, both actresses were mistreated.
