    Wow, I never knew Jim Davis' mother was still alive at the time he himself passed away.

    I think it must be her, right? The name is the same, she is buried where Jim's born...
    Take a look at my Albums for some great Dallas and Dynasty merchandise pictures!!

    That's very interesting, I wonder if she ever visited the set and met the rest of the cast. Thanks for the info!

    I wish Jim Davis could live long as his sister did. I have just watched the last episode with Jock and shocked seeing his face, almost could not recognize him. I do not know what he was going trough, but the treatments was terrible for sure.

    Let us know if you have some news from daughter of his sister .

    Jim Davis was found to have had cancer in the summer of 1980 and started undergoing chemotherapy soon after,that's why he looks fine at the start of the 1980-1981 season,but got worse as that season progressed. His death in April 1981 was right after surgery for a perforated ulcer.

    Is this perforated ulcer related to his cancer or was a 2nd illness? Is that true Victoria Principal had very similar looking as Jim Davis' daughter who passed away in car accident?

    Jim Davis had been dealing with the ulcer for some time and it just got worse until surgery was the only option.
    Yes,Jim had a daughter who died in a car accident in 1970. Victoria Principal said that Jim used to carry a picture of his daughter in his wallet right next to a picture of her and the resemblance was uncanny. She also said that that is probably why they had such a special bond. Any boyfriend she had,Jim wanted to meet him to make sure he was okay.

    If only Jim had lived to stop her from marrying that nutcase of a plastic surgeon!

    Those are the two photos from his wallet.

    Jim would have probably told the plastic surgeon to go practise on himself.
