Linda Gray auctions off Who Shot JR scripts from Dallas

Linda Gray is teaming up with Julien's Auctions for a Ladies of the '80s memorabilia sale.

The actor, who played Sue Ellen Ewing, the troubled wife of villain JR Ewing on the 1980s hit TV show Dallas, has contributed her scripts from the episodes surrounding the infamous Who Shot JR? saga.

Ahead of the auction, Gray looked back on her Dallas years, including the kissing scenes she shared with her on-screen husband, Larry Hagman, who died in 2012 at the age of 81.

"The first time we kissed, he had a mouthful of peanut butter," the actor told Fox News Digital. "I thought, 'Oh no.' He didn't care. He just kept laughing. He thought that was funny.

"He had told me quite honestly that he didn't like kissing scenes," Gray revealed. "Larry cringed, just cringed. He did not like it. But I think the pranks, psychologically, were his way of getting over the anxiety of having to kiss me on camera."

The auction gives bidders the chance to own costumes, props, personal archives and other memorabilia from some of the decade's most celebrated TV stars.

It features a collection of signed original scripts from The Golden Girls, Charlie's Angels and Hart to Hart, plus dresses worn by Joan Collins in Dynasty and Cybill Shepherd in Moonlighting.

Other ladies featured in the sale include Ann-Margret, Joan Van Ark, Lynda Carter, Linda Evans, Farrah Fawcett, Shelley Hack, Kate Jackson, Cheryl Ladd, Stefanie Powers, Joan Rivers, Jane Seymour, Loretta Swit and Elizabeth Taylor.

The auction goes live on 12 August.
