The Secretaries of DALLAS

The secretaries were really the backbone of the shoe Dallas. Tina Louise started the ball rolling as Julie Gray. Sly and Phyllis were both really good, and Kendall was a stunning beauty. I personally liked Jackie. Loved her carefree style. I've decided not to include Kristen because she was a main character and would be an easy win.

Mrs. hWiggins should have done a guest spot.

Thank you for bringing up this very serious issue, OP.

I enjoyed Sly — not least for the name — but because she seemed most ambitious.

How many of them did JR fuck?

Deborah Rennard is married to Paul Haggis (Oscar winner for "Crash")

When Tina Louise went to the 75th Anniversary of CBS, she chose to sit at the "Dallas" table and NOT the table for "Gilligan's Island"

Sadly, Sherril Lynn Rettino (who played Jackie) died of breast cancer at 39. The actresses who played Connie #2 and Louella have also died.

R11 She tried very hard to put herself in the same league as Farrah Fawcett.

The botched nose job on Tina was always so distracting. Connie #1 had her moments, but Sly is the obvious winner here.

Cassie the cocktail waitress for the overall win across categories.

Jackie looked too much like Merilee Stone. I remember watching some episodes and wondering why JR was all of a sudden in bed with Cliff's secretary.

Jeanna Michaels, who played Connie Brasher (1978-1981 according to IMDb) went onto be "General Hospital's" Constance Townley, an old WSB girlfriend of Robert's (pre-Anna) who was involved in the DVX disc storyline, killing Melinda Cordell's "Natasha". She also had roles on the soaps "Y&R" (Andy's estranged drunken wife Karen RIchards) "Santa Barbara" (Lydia Saunders). and "Generations" (Madame Rosa, no relation to Simone Signoret's Madame Rosa). She's the one mentioned above who passed away.

By the time of "GH", Jeanna had the Farrah doo. She also had a hot affair with Luke but was written out right before Genie Francis returned. She would have been great with Sean Donnelly over the silly Tiffany.

I thought Sly was really smug when she first took over as JR's secretary, especially during her job interview, but grew to like her more as the show went on.
