This town certainly comes alive when this mega star and beautiful humanitarian comes home. Linda Gray is here in Dallas this week guest teaching at a local acting school, hosting charity luncheons, supporting our Local USA Film Festival with her new short film titled Wally’s Will, and of course there are her book signings. Wow, what a busy week for Miss Gray.
When Linda Gray (a.k.a. Sue Ellen Ewing on the TV series Dallas), was twenty years old, a magazine editor rejected her as a model, writing that, perhaps one day, “you might shape into something.” Since then, Linda has been evolving and growing, and has shaped into a role model for women of every age in her grace, beauty, generosity, and wisdom. At thirty-eight, Linda got her big break, as Larry Hagman’s wife on Dallas. With fame came the challenges of sexism in Hollywood and the pressures of being a single working mom—with a relentlessly positive attitude that kept her cruising, with a few speed bumps, to the place of serenity she thrives in now.
In her new book, The Road to Happiness Is Always Under Construction, and in celebration of her seventy-fifth birthday, Linda opens up about her life for the first time. She tells deeply personal stories with wit, humor, and candor, and reveals how she’s learned to love every day as the blessing it is and to treat herself with the kindness she bestows on friends and strangers alike. Along with wisdom, Linda has accumulated a lot of practical tips about maintaining a healthy lifestyle—how to strengthen and detoxify your body, liberate your mind, and uplift your soul—and shares them as well. Her message to “give, love, and shine, baby, shine” will fill anyone with inspiration to live life to the fullest, and never stop pursuing honesty and joy.
