The Hollywood Reporter quoted movie and TV blogger Shaun Chang as saying, “As the only African-American character who appeared more than once, Dora Mae never had a storyline because Dallas never tried to be anything other than the story of the Ewing family, but she played the part with elegance and intelligence.”
“The show’s main characters and itself treated her with respect, never making fun of her.
“In Dallas, there were a lot of recurring supporting characters who helped make the show feel like a community, and Dora Mae was an important part of that.”
It began airing in 1978 as Dallas. Reports say that the show was canceled in 1991 because it was “too expensive for its own good.”
