Linda Ann Gray (born September 12, 1940 in Santa Monica, California) is an American actress, best known for her Emmy-nominated role as Sue Ellen Ewing, the long-suffering wife of oil tycoon J.R.

She was also a director of the popular show.

Gray returned for the series finale in 1991 and again in the reunion films "J.R. Returns" in 1996 and "The War of the Ewings" in 1998.
