Bel Geddes, Barbara
▪ 2006

      American actress (b. Oct. 31, 1922, New York, N.Y.—d. Aug. 8, 2005, Northeast Harbor, Maine), first gained acclaim for her performances in such films as I Remember Mama (1948) and Vertigo (1958), for her roles on Broadway as the original Maggie in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1955) and as the title character in Mary, Mary (1961), and for television appearances in Alfred Hitchcock Presents in the late 1950s and early '60s. It was as Miss Ellie, the matriarch of the Ewing clan on the nighttime TV soap opera Dallas, however, that she found her greatest fame; she starred in that show in 1978–84 and 1985–90 and won an Emmy Award in 1980.
