Who Shot J.R. and 11 Other Surprising Facts about ‘Dallas’

10. There Was Even Some Incest

Charlene Tilton, who brought “Lucy Ewing” to life, saw the cast and crew of Dallas as her family. Having been raised by a mentally-ill mother and on her own from fifteen, Tilton soon considered Hagman a father-figure who she had a great deal of respect for, and looked to for advice regarding her life and career. Her role as the Ewing’s sneaky granddaughter earned her critical acclaim and in 2001, she received the Young Artist Foundation’s Former Child Star “Lifetime Achievement” Award for the role. She reprized it in the 2012 revival of the series. One thing people tend to forget about is that the Lucy had a fling with ranch foreman Ray Krebbs before they discovered they were uncle and niece. They sort of dropped that incestuous plot line altogether and moved on like it never happened.
