Morgan: (laughs)
oh my, really you want to know? Howard Keel, Clayton Farlow.
When I was 16 I would watch all of his old MGM musicals and
I was so in love with him, he to me was the like the most amazing
performer and singer. When I met him on the set of Dallas I
said "Howard i’m in love with you". He is the
most charismatic , wonderful man, he is a Sean Connery type,
it doesn’t matter how old they are they are just incredible.
Interviewer: Following on from that which cast member would
you most not like to be stuck with?
(I couldn`t resist but to ask this)
Morgan: (laughs a lot) Let me see now, I can’t say but
there is one person, I`ll leave it up to your imagination, but
I can't say.
Interviewer: Did you have a favorite cast member to act with?
Morgan: I would say it was between Patrick and Larry, they
were so much fun and I learnt so much from Larry.
Interviewer: Did you work with Barbara Bel Geddes. She seems
to have vanished from show business?
Morgan: Barbara was very quiet, she was very professional ,
she would only come on the set when they needed her, she was
very low key.
Interviewer: Were you still on the show when Donna Reed took
over the role?
Morgan: yes and I kind of felt bad for Donna because she was
walking into a no win situation. It was very hard for people
to accept an icon like Miss Ellie being played by someone else.It
was very rough on Donna, I think she wasn’t comfortable
being there and she was such a nice lady.
Interviewer: Your husband is Jack Gill who has directed you
in two movies and I believe you have two children?
Morgan : I have a daughter of 14 and a son whos 12. I'm really
active in my childrens school and activietes and it's great.
Interviewer: What is your current project?
Morgan : I’m doing a lot of musical theatre , I do national
tours of Broadway shows, back to the singing and dancing I had
done as a kid. I’m getting ready to do Pippin a musical
which Ben Vereen did on Broadway in the 70's.Allot of people
are very surprised that I sing and dance., they don't realize
that’s my background. I also sing with a jazz band and
we have talking about making a CD with some old standards.
Interviewer: Do you ever surf the internet? Were you aware
of the Dallas phenomena on the net?
Morgan: Yes I use it all the time, the web site I went to,
the Ultimate Dallas site is fabulous, I love that. it’s
really something, it’s terrific. You know there's a resurgence
now because it’s twenty years since who shot JR and people
are really interested.
Interviewer : As I`m sure you know you have quite a following
from a whole new generation of Dallas fans. In particular there
is one 16 year old young man Jason Bonifant from Ohio who is
a huge fan and would like me to say hello to you.
Morgan : (laughs) that is so nice, how sweet. Please say hello
back from me. That is great. Everything comes around doesn`t
it?
Interviewer : You`ll never escape it. Dallas will haunt you
forever.
Morgan : (laughs) it really will.
And that is where we end it.
Thank you to all the fans who put forward questions and a very
special thank you to Morgan Brittanny
for taking part.
