Dallas

Dallas, the primetime soap opera classic, debuted in 1978 and ran for a whopping thirteen consecutive seasons. To say that it was a “hit” would be quite the understatement. The story followed the exploits of several Texas oil magnate-type families, the central clan being that of the “Ewings,” the patriarch (“Jock”) played by the late Jim Davis until his death in 1981, at which point, in typical soap opera style, the character was killed off the show. “J.R.” (Larry Hagman) then took over all of the family’s operations and for thirteen long years, all Hell broke loose. Of course, being a primetime soap, Dallas spawned or furthered the careers of quite a few hot-assed babes, including the likes of Lindsay Bloom, Joanna Cassidy, Jenilee Harrison, Charlene “My Future Ex-Wife” Tilton, and the aforementioned Victoria Principal. Unfortunately, being on such a long-running series put quite a damper on some of their Skinematic careers, but you can be sure they shed their collective threads somewhere or another!
