Encyclopedia
Lucy Ewing Cooper was a character in the popular American television series Dallas
, played by Charlene Tilton
(1978-1985, 1988-1990).
Lucy was the saucy daughter of Gary Ewing and Valene Clements Ewing and confused niece of JR Ewing
& Bobby Ewing. Lucy was raised on the Southfork Ranch by her grandparents, Jock and Miss Ellie Ewing. In the start of the show, she was the show's teenaged trouble making, confused vixen. Over time, she changed her ways. The character experienced several incidents that influenced her to become more mature.
Lucy was nicknamed "The Poison Dwarf" by Terry Wogan
on his BBC Radio 2 show in the 80s.
In 1978, she was involved with Ray. She would skip school and spend her time with him in the hayloft. Eventually, they were caught by Pamela Barnes Ewing, Bobby's wife. If Lucy would start going to school, Pamela would not tell anyone about them. However, briefly, Lucy got the upper hand. She framed her math tutor for rape. In exchange for clearing him, she wanted Pamela to lie for her and tell her grandparents she was doing well in school.However the plan backfired & Lucy was made to finish school.
In 1979, she fell in love with Kit Mainwaring III. They became engaged. After discovering he was gay, their relationship ended. Shortly after, she developed a drug problem. She married med student Mitch Cooper (played by Leigh McCloskey
) in 1981, but since their goals in life differed - he was ambitious and wanted to become a doctor, while she was more interested in having fun - they divorced in 1982. Another problem within their marriage tended to be the balance of financial income. Lucy and Mitch's relationship remained on and off for a year, and Lucy became a model with psychopath Roger as her photographer. Roger had an increasing obsession for Lucy, and eventually kidnapped her, planning to elope to California with her. However, Pam and Bobby rescued Lucy. In quick succession in 1982, Lucy divorced Mitch, fell pregnant with Roger's baby, and later had an abortion. In the 1982 season, Lucy became involved with Ray Krebbs' cousin, Mickey Trotter, a relationship that ended with Mickeys death, caused by Sue Ellen's DUI. However, later on when Lucy had calmed down from her youthful whims, Mitch and Lucy got back together and married again in 1985 and moved to Atlanta; however, their marriage collapsed again and they divorced a second time in 1988. Lucy moved to Italy in 1990.
She is mentioned briefly in the final episode "Conundrum" in 1991 in J.R.'s dream in which it is revealed that without J.R. to drive Gary off Southfork, Lucy would never have been born. She is also mentioned briefly in the film "J.R. Returns" five years later but appears in neither the last episode or the film. However, she will return in the pilot of the 2012 TNT revival, so far nothing is known about her current life. She will be present at Christopher's wedding to Rebecca Sutter as a special guest.
Lucy's first car was a silver Fiat X1/9
. She then drove a Triumph TR7
, and later on a Porsche 924
in the same color. They all had the license plate EWING 6.
