She was 63.  Wraith had battled breast cancer some time ago and recently learned it had metastasized into her liver "really fast."

Now it seems this was posted elsewhere but search box isn't my friend so save your complaints.  I'll delete this portion of the post if in fact my post is original work.

He was brilliant as a pretty ruthless villainous ex husband of the character Jenna Wade played by Priscilla Presley.

His bio is actually rather impressive, but I couldn't place his face.  I didn't watch Dallas though so there's that.

Dallas was gloriously trashy highly melodramatic very glamorous camp fun and I am totally unashamed to admit I loved it! :D

Oh I'm sure I'm in the 20% who didn't watch it.  Most everyone I knew did.  They probably watched Baywatch a few years later -- not that I'm accusing you lol....

Got to agree Dallas was brilliant you can't beat a bit of ole JR, larry Hagman was brilliant, all the more impressive considering he was drinking between 4 and 5 bottles of champagne a day on the Dallas set. RIP Daniel Pilon remember him in Dallas, would of thought he was older than 77 though, would of put him mid 80's.

Sent me scrambling to look up ‘erstwhile’ I have to sadly admit, wasn’t aware the Oxford Professor of Fine Arts took part in our forums.

SC

(ok looked it up, and for not simply saying ‘former’, let me now change my post to read ‘save the pompous stuffy bullshit for letters you write to your PM’ ffs).  And how can you be someone’s FORMER father?  So this is one of those ‘if you’re not really sure what a word means don’t use it’ scenarios.  Professor of Fine Arts my arse, ya tosser.
