Priscilla Pointer is DEAD to ME!

Would have been 101 next month.

So young!

Well, at least her school had an impeccable reputation.

From the performances I've seen, she was a very wooden actress.

She was my favorite pointer sister.

She was quite good as Rebecca Wentworth on "Dallas."

She'll always be remembered for her breed.

Thanks R11 and R13.

I was pretty sure the social media posts were right, since she was 100.

Holy shit, end of an era for sure.

R3- For me that was THE saddest moment on Dallas when Rebecca Wentworth died after the plane crash. Not even Bobby Ewing death was as sad to me.

If that dickless son of hers had been man enough to take on JR himself, she would be alive.

But noooo, she had to get in the Wentworth jet and solve his problems for him.

How did she die?

She died by Jazzercise, r27.

I always liked that Mrs. Snell was a daydrinker that couldn't stand that religious nutcase Margaret White.

On Instagram, Amy wrote that her mom died “peacefully in her sleep at the age of 100, hopefully to run off with her 2 adoring husbands and her many dogs. She most definitely will be missed.”

R26- She was one of my favorite characters on Dallas ( that is one of the main reasons that scene with her dying was the saddest for me)in the early 1980's which is when Dallas was the best. Here is the scene where Cliff meets his mother for the first time- since he was 5 years old.

I love that scene, too, R37. It was also one of Ken Kercheval's favorite scenes in Dallas.

Of course DLers are fixated on Dallas. Those nighttime soaps from the 80s are with them forever and always.

WTF?

Sissy Spacek, William Katt, John Travolta, Nancy Allen, Betty Buckley... all alive.

Not to mention her own daughter Amy Irving.

Amy Irving was married to Steven Spielberg for only four years and walked away with a $100 million divorce settlement. Four years!

She is the queen of GOALS.
