The wonderful Charlene Tilton took questions from Ultimate Dallas fans.

Read below what Charlene had to say about her time on Dallas and her new stage play 'Tell Veronica'.

 

 

 

Tobias in Canada asks "Do you have memorabilia?"

Charlene: Everyone asks me that and I have to tell you I don't have a lot, I don't save things like that, I don't even have copies of the episodes that I would love to have just so my daughter Cherish could see some of them, she has seen some and she will say "Mom I can't believe you were doing that" I will say "hey it's called acting don't you even think about it" (laughs)

James Strawn from Wildomar, California asks " Have you been approached to be in this possible new series or the next reunion movie?"

Charlene : I haven't and I was really disappointed and hurt that I was not asked to be in the two reunions. From what I understand from talking to Larry and different people there will not be a 3rd reunion. If there is I would love to do it. Now I'm old enough to play Miss Ellie (laughs)

Interviewer : Apparently Patrick Duffy was just on Entertainment Tonight and said he and Larry were writing a 3rd script

Charlene: Excellent, wow hopefully they will remember me, "remember Lucy the cute little blonde that ran around".

Interviewer: So many people on the site don't understand why in a Reunion not many people were there to `reunite` (laughs)

Charlene : Well there were other people, they just did not write me in and Lucy was such an integral part of the show I think I should of been there, but that is just my opinion.

Interviewer : I spoke to Ken Kercheval and he was unhappy about being excluded from the 2nd movie.

Charlene: He was asked for the first, so better off than I was (laughs)

Mary Anne from CA asks "Can you tell us about Tell Veronica? What part do you play? You look so different from Lucy Ewing?"

Charlene: I play a wacky chat show hostess, and its so much fun. My character Veronica is a combination of Oprah, Rosie, Sally Jesy Raphael, Jenny Jones and Jerry Springer, a combination of all those people and I think my job is to save the world. I put two dysfunctional families together, the first one is a white trash family and the second is a mob family, its very funny. Like I said Cherish is in the show as well.

Leigh Romanello from Tulsa,OK asks " Do you prefer plays to TV? "

Charlene: I love doing theater, I just like a good script and I think 'Tell Veronica' is a very good script, written by my producing partner Tony Jerris, he wrote it and we are producing it together and we are having a great time.

Interviewer : It starts on the 19th?

Charlene: We open July 19th at the Hudson theater in Hollywood and that is on Santa Monica Boulavard and Hudson. It's running for 6 weeks on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Friday and Saturday at eight and Sunday at seven.

Manny in Newcastle asks "I have seen Linda Gray and Patrick Duffy on stage in London. Did they inspire you to tread the boards and will you be coming to London. I think you would be great"

Charlene: I would love to come to London with my play. Did they inspire me? No, I was in London before them, I did `Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf' in Guilford , so I think I inspired them (laughs).

Lottie Inaya in Middleton asks "Have you got anything planned when Tell Veronica ends? What other projects have you got lined up?"

Charlene: Well my producing partner Tony and I have a movie in the works. I should also point out that in our play we have Lin Shaye who played in the movie 'Something about Mary' with Cameron Diaz, she played the crazy sun tanned lady. She's done a lot of great work and she actually plays Cherish's mother in the show.

Interviewer : What is it like working alongside your daughter?

Charlene: Well we work very well together, we actually did a production of `42nd Street` together a year and half ago, we work very well together but when we work we are actors. But she is very professional, she got mad at me today for not knowing my lines (laughs)

Graeme in New York asks "Do you surf the net and what sites? Have you been to Charlene Tilton online?

Charlene:No, I'm a computer geek, when I want to check a website somebody has to do it for me. I barely know how to check my Email.

Interviewer : Charlene Tilton Online is a site dedicated to your good self. Its a very good site.

Charlene: Well that's very nice, oh good.

Interviewer: Well thank you Charlene. That is about it.

Charlene: Thank you so much, you're a doll. Well I do know this site (Ultimate Dallas Site), because I've been there and I do know this site is a wonderful one.

Interviewer : You have seen it?
