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

Read the interview below.

 

 

 

Ultimate Dallas -Michael Bowen from Jacksonville asks do people still notice you from playing on Dallas?

Audrey - People do because the show was so popular and I think that is wonderful and its rerun so there is another generation watching it. But people do recognize me for the character and I love it.

Ultimate Dallas - OlJR from Perth asks How did Dallas impact your life?

Audrey - It was a big changing point in my career, I had been acting since I was 5 and had did many many years on soaps operas so I was well known for that. I did things like Charlie's Angels and Love Boat but when I got the role in Dallas it was like I had never done anything before because the fame was so wide spread people said "wow she's brand new where did she come from" It was an amazing time.

Ultimate Dallas - Mark Arbouine from London asks The public closely associate you with being Afton Cooper, has this been a help or hindrance to your career?

Audrey - I think as opposed to some of the other characters on the show, there are good points and bad points to be over exposed, one of the earlier questions was would I have liked a bigger role and I think because my character was like a special icing on the cake, I don't think people ever got tired of the character and that I left several times gave me the opportunity not to be typecast.

Ultimate Dallas - Mary Jankowski from NJ asks My husband misses you on Howard Stern and wants to know when you'll be back?

Audrey - I was on that show one time when it first started and he wasn't quite as nasty as he's become now. He's a little bit too raunchy for my taste so I don't think I will be back on the show but he was always very nice to me.

Ultimate Dallas - Frankie from Baltimore asks The name Afton is one I've NEVER heard used anywhere before or after Dallas.  Did they create this name? What does it mean?

Audrey - I had asked the writers this as well. The only answers I had were that Afton ,one, was named after a city and a river.

Ultimate Dallas -Longhorn1 from The Emerald City asks Can you tell us about the childrens show you produce?

Audrey - Its a really wonderful show, we have won many many awards its a musical educational series for children. My sister and I both write it and my mom produces it , my sister and I are also in the show along with children and some larger than life characters and our own children have been in it as well. So its been a really wonderful rewarding time in our lives. Its called the Huggabug Club. It was a web site at http://www.Huggabugclub.com

Ultimate Dallas - As you work closely with your sister and your mother is it one big happy family? Any sibling rivalry?

Audrey - It is one big happy family but there are arguments and disagreements as there would be with any with any kind of business partners. But we have worked together for so many years , my mom has been our manager from where we were very young. So we are used to working together and we know each of our strengths and we go to the person who has that area of expertise. By the way the BBC are interviewing for a show "when shoulder pads ruled the world" it sounds great.

Ultimate Dallas - yes the Ultimate Dallas site was approached for that too (laughs)

Ultimate Dallas - Danny James from the UK asks What do you do in your spare time?

Audrey - well I don't have a whole lot of spare time But I have a husband and two little boys and I am very much involved in being a mommy. I have also written a couple of screen plays and with my mother and sister we are  working on a new family adventure movie which we hope becomes a series. 

Ultimate Dallas - Zoe Randel from CA asks What was the working day like on Dallas?

Audrey -  It was a long day, the women were usually called in around 5.15 in the morning and begin shooting about 7.00am and we would finish at 7 in the evening.

Ultimate Dallas - Lindy in Finland asks did you get on with Morgan Britanny in real life as your characters despised each other?

Audrey - I wasn't really friendly or unfriendly with her, we never socialized off the set. I don't really know her too well.

Ultimate Dallas - Well thank you very much Audrey.

Audrey - Your welcome and I enjoyed talking to you. Please say Hi to all my fans for me and hopefully we will do a reunion and I will back on your screens again.

Ultimate Dallas - Just one more question quickly, many people have asked how they can get Dallas back for the Get Dallas Back campaign which is about to launch at http://www.getdallasback.com? What can fans do?

Audrey - well the last time Larry was executive producer on it might be a good time to ask him. But don't forget to tell him how important Afton was (laughs) ok ? Sometimes the older generation on the show forget and that did happen for the second reunion they forgot (laughs)Ultimate Dallas - yes I have a question here from Danny James in the UK asking the same thing , where were you?

Audrey - That is a very good question. I got many letters asking the same thing (laughs)

Ultimate Dallas - Well hopefully for the 3rd you will be there.

Audrey - I hope so. So if all these wonderful fans out there want it, talk to Larry and tell him how much they loved Afton too. (laughs)

 Special Thanks to Audrey Landers. It was an absolute pleasure to speak to you.
