Unpopular opinion: as brilliant as Barbara Bel Geddes was as Miss Ellie, I do believe Donna Reed had a better handle on the role, and on Texas women in general. Under another, better set of circumstances, I feel like Reed would've been able to make "Miss Ellie" her own and continue on with the show 'til the end. Unfortunately, I also feel like Leonard Katzman, Larry Hagman and the rest of their "boys' club" had it out for her from the start.
