And on Dynasty (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Series/Dynasty1981) she was the (mostly) good girl (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/Dynasty1981) whose only character flaw was not being born rich.

It was ABC’s answer to Dallas, with settings that were more opulent, and stories that were often sillier. But it lasted nine years, and Linda Evans was there for more than 200 of its episodes. As previously mentioned it was Joan Collins who kicked the ratings up in the second season and locked down that Wednesday timeslot for years to come. But to most TV fans, this is also how Evans will always be remembered, suffering gracefully in Nolan Miller gowns.
