What Ever Happened to the Cast of Dallas?

Clayton Farlow was the distinguished, level-headed rancher who became Miss Ellie’s second husband after Jock’s death. With his deep voice, old-fashioned values, and steady demeanor, Clayton brought calm and dignity to Dallas during its later years. He stood as a symbol of integrity amid the Ewings’ endless chaos and ambition.

Howard Keel joined Dallas after decades of fame as a leading man in classic MGM musicals like Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and Kiss Me Kate. His commanding presence and rich baritone gave Clayton instant gravitas. Viewers embraced him as the perfect Southern gentleman—a grounding force who restored balance to Southfork.
