3. Sue Ellen’s Drinking Problem

A lot lush actually. How else would “Sue Ellen Ewing,” J.R.’s wife played by Linda Gray, ever have survived her husband’s schemes otherwise? Gray was the embodiment of the long-suffering wife, who could be just as crafty herself when the need arose. Otherwise she coursed through the scandalous routines that were life at Southfork Ranch like a pro, and the actress’ obvious talent shone through with every scene. Gray stayed with the show until 1989, after initially being invited as a recurring guest in the first five-episode run of the series.
