little sister 2 Posted April 11, 2004 I have no idea why (and I don't think I want to know) but last night in the middle of my dream in popped Barbara Bel Geddes. A quick trawl for info shows she's 82, and reminded me that she took a year out from Miss Eliie in the '80's to have quadruple heart bypass surgery, and hasn't seemed to have done anything noteworthy since 1990. Just wondered of she was enjoying retirement, or resting on doc's orders?????? love and kisses little sister ( in need of sleep) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Stats 9 Posted April 12, 2004 and there's a bonus point on offer if anyone can remember the name of the actress who played Miss Ellie during Babs' absence Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BBG Posted February 11, 2005 Hi! I know this topic`s old,but I just found it,and thought I`d reply anyway!Barbara Bel Geddes is still alive, though in poor health...Articles don`t mention exactly what is wrong with her,but it`s probably hear-related.She retired completely from actin after Dallas; said she wanted to spend more time to draw/paint and doing other things she liked I saw an interview with her from 1997,and she looked very good in it, but they say she`s in and out of hospitals these days BTW,the actress replacing Barbara when she was ill was Donna Reed(very bad replacement indeed!!!)

Guest IYG Posted August 10, 2005 iain is seriously getting on my nerves now. Can we ban him on the grounds of not knowing how to use a message board? If there is already a thread, you answer there, if not, there is a near miss for 2005. Unless it's someone really major who doesn't have a thread for themselves like Britney Spears.

spurrmen8r 0 Posted August 12, 2005 BABS is a BEllE no more Miss Ellie was only 8 when she had JR? She had lung cancer and was never on the list? Larry Hagman was in 1996-- a fierce opponent of smoking... The woman who replaced her on the show died during the show and Babs got her job back, thank the Lord. Donna will Reed no more. The woman who played Donna on Dallas must be dead. Has anyone seen her since the show? Anyway, Barbara bel Geddes is now and forever most assuredly DEAD. Rehnquist is not; a walking tracheotomy. He was Chief Justice when the show was on... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
