Linda Gray

IT TURNS OUT ALEXIS CARRINGTON AND SUE ELLEN EWING ARE FRIENDS!

Dynasty diva Joan Collins (Alexis) and Dallas diva Linda Gray (Sue Ellen) actually had dinner together last night at Craig’s. Back in the day these women were highly competitive. The 80’s soap stars are currently both enjoying a resurgence of roles for mature women in Hollywood, thanks to cable. Linda is appearing for the second season on a soap called Hilton Head Island and Joan does occasional guest spots on shows like American Horror Story and Hawaii Five-O. Of course, Joan is always working on a book of some kind- she’s churned out 18 publications already.

Move over Melrose Place and 90210, another vintage drama series is about to be revived (due to an apparent lack of original ideas) most likely on TNT. “Dallas” is in the early stages of preproduction and many of the original stars are being approached to make appearances. Linda Gray, 69, who played Sue Ellen Ewing, and Larry Hagman, 78, who famously played JR Ewing, are both thinking it over. The older stars who do return will simply be featured in cameo roles and a new generation of Texas Ewings will be the stars. Of the original cast – who do you think will jump at the chance to return?
