A touching, moving, heartbreaking scene from Dallas TNT Season 2 Episode 8 ("JR's Masterpiece")
Sue Ellen gives a moving eulogy to the love of her life, ex-husband, J.R. Ewing and reads out the love letter JR wrote her shortly before his death.
The song played during JR's funeral: "Down To The River To Pray" by Alison Krauss
Linda Gray is brilliant in every episode of Dallas TNT. She gives an incredible, so moving, heart-wrenching, absolutely outstanding performance in this scene. Hope she gets recognized by the Emmys this year! She deserves an Emmy for her amazing work on Dallas TNT, especially for her incredible performance in the episode "JR's Masterpiece"!

Linda Gray is incredibly underrated as an actress. The character is probably one of the most complex women on TV in the last 40 years. Loving wife, psychologically damaged, alcoholic, businesswoman - sometimes all four at the same time. Even when the writing wasn’t that good - she was still a standout.

@devinbiz 2 года назад

I disagree, I would say Sue Ellen was probably one of the most complex women in the history of TV. And yes, always a standout. Far more believable than some of the lines by that competing soap, Dynasty.

@jayallen7040 Год назад

I absolutely loved the character Sue Ellen. Incredible casting with Linda Gray, and I had the pleasure of meeting her at a coffee shop by chance meeting while living in L.A. A warm, friendly, kind lady in person. I so miss Dallas as a series

@@LoydKline-uw4no Doesn't change the magic, or the success of the series. Many talented actors in Dallas but notable mention to Linda Gray here, an amazing underrated actress and for many different reasons. Not only did Linda and Larry create an icon for themselves, they literally made the city of Dallas Texas into one.

@PensiveCzar I think their characters originated from Dallas, before they had their own show, Knots Landing.

@tomtagliente1464 Год назад

I don't think this was acting. That was genuine. This was filmed in December, three weeks after Larry died. These emotions are raw and real. When she knelt and touched the casket, it was not scripted. That, too, was a genuine reaction of Linda saying goodbye. It was one of the greatest moments in television history. It's not often you say goodbye to a dear friend in front of 3 million viewers.

@charleshendren3961 Год назад

It was great acting, but it was also straight from the heart. This scene filmed only 3 weeks after Larry Hagman’s death so the cast still had the raw emotion of losing their friend

@gregdark5203 3 года назад

"Will you have dinner with me?" The simplicity of that line and the meaning behind it is so powerful. He didn't ask her to marry him... He was being a gentleman and asking her for a date to start anew. This scene was the single most powerful scene in the Dallas reboot. It still brings me to tears even now at the age of 52. Larry Hagman entertained me all of my early life. JR Ewing was my favorite character of all time on television.

I have the complete box set collection and digital downloads also. I just never got tired of watching it. I am also from Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. So it goes without say. Sue Ellen made me cry on this scene. "Yes J.R. the answer is yes" "I'm a bit drunk now"

aw man, right in the feels. The best part about that new Dallas was that Larry Hagman got to pass away an old man doing exactly what he loved, playing the character that was the biggest part of his life. He was a pioneer in his own right. He brought style and class to the anti-hero. To this day he is the greatest TV villain of all time, yet he always loved his family above all. RIP Larry Hagman, aka J.R. Ewing!

@sarahewing6283 8 лет назад

That's rubbish actually. If you knew the actors well you would know that they gave an interview with Terry Wogan in 1986 where Larry admits he was only joking around and that he 'wanted her to know who was boss'.

@laminage 8 лет назад

Either way, her performance was amazing. She could have been the prototype of a "housewife". My favorite was when she thought Bobby & JR had died in a Helicopter Crash and she thought she'd end up with nothing.

John Ross was consumed by his own pain, and probably regret as well. It is not that he wouldn't comfort his mama, he couldn't. In that moment, he's still in shock over the loss of his father and also upon hearing the words in the letter to his mother and seeing her pain and the amount of love she really did have for his dad, AND the love his dad had for his mother, well that's just A LOT to take in. He's kind of frozen in a state of surrealness.

Linda did get to direct some along with Larry, Patrick and Steve Kanaly. Great touching scene.

Such a bitter sweet moment, bitter because the emotions are very much real, no one expected Larry to die so sudden. Linda Gray and Larry Hagman made the greatest on screen couple as far as I am concerned, because both were in love very much with the other however they are also very much human therefore yes they cheated on each other, JR wronged her a million times over, still they did love each other and this show showed that JR knew he messed up all those years ago with Sue Ellen and he tried for a second chance. I'm thinking that they planned on having JR and Sue Ellen get married again this time as the power couple they were meant to be

You know what was so ironic was that when she started out, Larry Hagman didn't think she was any good and he wanted her fired. She really gave her all in terms of playing Sue Ellen and would even Direct Episodes. She even went to England while doing The Graduate as Mrs. Robinson, and she presented The UK Soap Opera Eastenders with an Award which is the British Equivalent of a Daytime Emmy.

@MarusASMR 3 года назад

Such a brilliant scene, for both the actress and the character. Sue-Ellen is dealing with the fact that despite everything JR did to her, and he treated her awfully, she still loved him, and always will. Processing the fact that she's lost the love of her life, a man who likely drove her to drink in the first place but also drove her, through his treatment, to become the woman she is today. I'm not surprised she fell off the wagon. The actress, Linda Gray, is dealing with the rather sudden loss of one of her best friends. Those tears are real. Perfect scene.

Linda Gray is an excellent actress and is fit to play Sue Ellen. Her eulogy was so emotional to pay a tribute to JR Ewing, despite the fact he cheated on her so many times during their union. JR finally apologized to her. I'm sure Kristin, Nicholas Pierce and Clayton Farlow would cry after this letter and forgive to JR for his behavior. RIP JR.
