Linda Gray, 80 Years Old

Model turned actress Linda Gray got her start in the ’60s by playing in almost 400 TV commercials. However, when she landed Sue Ellen Ewing’s role in 1978, the Santa Monica-born star became famous. Dallas ran for 14 seasons, ending in 1989, and featured Gray in most of them.

Melrose Place and Models Inc. later arrived, and we loved her in The Bold and The Beautiful, where she played in the mid-’00s. In 2012, Gray reprised her role for the Dallas reboot, before playing in several shows. The last time we saw the Grand Daddy Day Care star was in the movie Intuitions in 2019.
