My Take
Susan Howard is exactly the kind of multifaceted talent I find compelling. Most know her as Donna Krebbs on Dallas through the 1980s, but she was a working actress well before that on Petrocelli, and crucially she also wrote, earning membership in the Writers Guild of America, and later turned to political activism. That refusal to stay in one lane signals real substance behind the screen presence. Educated at the University of Texas at Austin, she carried intellect into every role she chose. To me she reads as a grounded Southern woman of conviction rather than just another television star.
