Barbara Bel Geddes, 82, a veteran stage and film actress best known for her TV role as Miss Ellie, the likable, long-suffering matriarch of the rambunctious Ewing clan on "Dallas," died Aug. 8 of lung cancer at her home in Northeast Harbor, Maine.

The CBS prime-time soap opera debuted in 1978, and the romantic entanglements, wheeler-dealer scheming and intra-family feuding of the larger-than-life oil and ranching Texans quickly made it one of the most popular dramas in TV history.
