Interview with Roseanna Christiansen - READ NOW

[Pamela]

Hi,

You can read the interview with Roseanna Christiansen at

http://ultimatedallas.com/dallasinte.../roseanna.html

Enjoy

It is now my fav interview on the site. I thought it would be good.

[Luke]

Wonderful interview!
So short though! I wanted to hear so much more as she seemed so forthcoming and wonderful. Cheers to Roseanna, seems like such a wonderful woman, and such an important part of Dallas.

[Ray&Donna]

Thanks for using my question and to everyone who put this interview together! I love that she was so close to Susan and Calvin, that's wonderful

[Ray's Lady]

Great interview I also love that she was friends with Susan and Calvin.

[Tessie]

Great interview. It's nice to read something different once in a while.

[Ray_Krebbs]

I agree, Tessie. I sure hope the site gets in touch with the later-years' actors. I love seeing everyone's point of view.

[Pamela]

Luke apparently it was an hour.

You know what I liked about it, the fact there was no spin in it. It was honest and fair.

But I see this whole other side to the show now, its funny. I felt it must of been really difficult at times for those people who were not seen as overly important.

Also I can imagine Barbara being a little snippy at times. She would scare me

[Ray_Krebbs]

I liked her honesty, too, Pamela. I have a feeling some of the other guest stars/recurring/later-years' actors are the same.

[KillerBob]

A great interview! Thank you so much!

And of course I was happy to see she answered my question!
Like Pamela said, the interview felt very honest. I liked that. She seems to be a really nice person.

I really look forward to the "Kendall"-interview and hopefully we'll see more interviews from these actors who were in Dallas for so long...?
An interview with Fern Fitzgerald would be wonderful...

[Pamela]

I hope Danone is as open but she wouldnt of been privvy to so much of the dynamics.

The funny thing about Roseanna's interview is that it did feel like a maid who had observed the family and was now revealing what happened

I wonder who the nasty director was? I really did feel for her reading that and its made me like Charlene even more.

[Ray_Krebbs]

I think I know who the director is, looking at IMDB. I believe she said it was one who was an actor for many years.

[James from London]

Really interesting interview! Re the nasty director who was also an actor, the first person I thought of was Bill Duke who directed a couple of Season 5 shows, but as he later appeared in DALLAS THE EARLY YEARS, it seems unlikely.

[Pam's Twin Sister]

Congratulations to Colin and company for making this interview possible. Also thank you very much for asking her my question.

She seems a nice, true person who took value of her "minor" job beyond the "guest starring" tags. Once again, as happened with Deborah Tranelli aka Phyllis, the people behind the supporting characters provide us a different insight of the show.

Keep this going and congrats again!

PS: The "Ra Who?" comment cracked me up!

Great interview from an interestingly different point of view. Thank you very much!
I recently read the script of "The Family Ewing" ("Rock Bottom Part One"), and in the second act there is a scene between Jenna and Teresa reacting to Bobby's death at breakfast of the following morning; in the end Jenna sort of has to comfort Teresa. The scene is in the final draft of the script, but not in the episode as shown on TV. I would imagine that to be the scene that Roseanna Christiansen referred to as her favourite one.

Thanks. I suspected it was Bobbys death too

[Snarky]

No surprise. Sounds like BBG was not-so-far from Miss Ellie herself: warm and friendly...... sorta.

At least she was aware of it.

I was thinking Victor French. He only did one didn't he? Or Ray Danton who also directed an episode.

That's very interesting. Another one of those many Dallas scenes that never made the final cut.

A great candid interview!

[Laustsen]

Really nice interview

[ashley]

that was lovely!

Just finished reading the "TA-RAY-SA" interview - it was great.

Thanks so much to Colin & UD for making this happen
