The venerable Dallas icon Linda Gray was recently seen doing errands close to her home in Valencia, California. It was the first time the 81-year-old actress has been spotted in a low-key public setting in three years.
Linda Gray, who is most remembered for playing Sue Ellen Ewing in the classic television series Dallas, was spotted in Costco, where she bought a warm blanket and some fruit. She was carrying a cart and packing her groceries into her car while sporting a tan sweatshirt and black trousers. She also gathered mail from a post office box.
Linda Gray has a lengthy and distinguished history in the entertainment business. She starred in popular films and reprised her legendary role in Dallas for two reunions from 1978 and 1991. She has experience as a theater performer as well; in a 2001 production of The Graduate, she played Mrs. Robinson.
Linda has worked with Sylvester Stallone on Models Inc. from 1994 to 1995 and Oscar in 1991 in addition to her work on Dallas. She returned in 1996 and 1998 to the Dallas spinoffs, and she starred in the Dallas remake from 2012 to 2014.
But when Linda Gray revealed the news of her 56-year-old son Jeff Thrasher’s passing last year, it was a devastating loss for her. Leukemia had been Jeff’s battle for a while. Jeff’s father, Ed Thrasher, was Linda’s husband from 1962 until 1983. Actress Kelly Sloane, 55, is Linda’s other daughter. She is wed to Lance Sloane and they have two kids together.
Among his many TV directing and producing credits were Junior Chef Showdown, Canada’s Smartest Person, and The Amazing Race Canada. Jeff Thrasher enjoyed a successful career in these roles. In addition, he had directed productions such as Furze World Wonders and Vegas Rat Rods.
Following the death of her son, Linda Gray’s admirers and colleagues in the entertainment world showered her with support, demonstrating the lasting influence she has had throughout her career.
