Dallas Fans on the Ultimate Dallas Site put questions to the Fabulous Audrey Landers.

Read the interview below.

 

 

 

 

Ultimate Dallas - Mrs Chambers asks Who was the better kisser, Larry Hagman or Ken Kercheval?

Audrey - (laughs) That's a tough one, they are both very good kissers. That's like asking what do you like better Italian or Chinese food. Variety is the spice of life (laughs)

Ultimate Dallas - Peter from Germany asks I would like to ask Audrey Landers, if leaving the show during the 7th season (1984/1985) was her own decision or had she been written out?
I would like to know the reason for her departure in both cases. Thank you

Audrey - The first time I left was when I got the opportunity to be in Chorus Line and I was fortunate that I was able to talk it over with the producers and they were amenable to let me take a leave of absence. That movie took over a year to make and it was at a time when Afton was at a turning point so we were able to take advantage of that.

Ultimate Dallas- Do you prefer working in movies, Dallas or singing?

Audrey - I think it depends where you are in your life at that moment  , I have always loved doing a series. Right now I would probably enjoy a movie and I still keep up with some of my singing but I have a wonderful family life and that kind of takes priority.

Ultimate Dallas - Robin from the Netherlands asks I'd like to know if any song you have sung on 'Dallas' has ever been released on CD. I bought your CD 'The Best of Audrey Landers' and I think you are a wonderful singer!

Audrey - That is interesting, I have never recorded any of the songs I wrote for Dallas, but I would be curious to ask Robin where they got the best of Audrey Landers because I would like to see what's on that (laughs). I don't recall making that , it could be retitled but I would be curious to find out who chose my best (laughs).

Ultimate Dallas - Gerard from Spain asks Have you been recording a new album?

Audrey - I am working now on another album. I spend a lot of time working on my childrens show that I have been writing and producing. It's a television series that has been on here in the US for above 5 years.

Ultimate Dallas - Pamela from London asks Can you tell us something no one else would know about Dallas or a personal highlight from the series?

Audrey - A deep dark secret? Gee if they were that deep and dark I don't know if I would tell anyone. Ok something I haven't really talked about. Ok you know every regular character had their own dressing room and my dressing room actually belonged to Jim Davis who played Jock Ewing. When he passed away I had just become a regular on the show and they gave me his dressing room. He had it decorated in the old Western Style , very heavy wood, like an old hunting lodge and it really wasn't my personality and they gave me the choice of redecorating and I thought to myself he was kind of a legend and I didn't feel like doing that. So even though it was very far from my personality I left it the same way.

Ultimate Dallas - Terry Chubaty from Winnipeg asks What were your impressions of Jim Davis?. Did he dominate the Dallas set like his character did?

Audrey - When I joined the series he was already ill and I didn't have the opportunity to really get to know him well. Though I had spent some time with his wife who was a lovely woman and I didn't really know him well but certainly his presence dominated the set.

Ultimate Dallas - Fergus from Ireland asks HOW DID YOU AND KEN (CLIFF) GET ON?

Audrey - Oh we got along really well, as an actor he was interesting to work with because he was always quite spontaneous. He was very talented.

Ultimate Dallas- Kay asks It seemed that the character you portrayed and the one that Victoria Principal portrayed were very close on Dallas almost like sisters, was that true when you two were out of character? 

Audrey - Victoria and I were certainly  friendly as were all the relationships between the women were very nice on the show, contrary to what the press said. They were all very nice but I was a very private person and focus on my work and not the type of person who socializes a lot.

Ultimate Dallas - Graeme from New Zealand asks What do you think of the dream/shower season?

Audrey - (laughs) I thought it was kind of a stretch and amazing the audience went for it.

Ultimate Dallas - jackie from Uk asks Larry and Patrick are famous for the pranks they played. Were you involved in any of these?

Audrey - On my first day of shooting I had this scene where I had to crawl into bed with J.R and I was nervous and to make me a little more uncomfortable he ice packs all over the bed. (laughs), So when I got in and they said roll it, it was icy cold and filled with ice cubes.
