Roseanna Christiansen, Teresa the Maid on "Dallas", Dies at 71

Roseanna Christiansen, who took care of the Ewing family’s sprawling Southfork ranch as the maid Teresa on the final nine seasons of the blockbuster CBS primetime soap opera "Dallas", has died. She was 71.

Christiansen died July 14 at Antelope Valley Medical Center in Lancaster, California, her husband, Steven Rizzo, told The Hollywood Reporter. No cause of death was revealed.

Right before "Dallas", she played another maid on three 1981 episodes of another hit CBS show, "The Jeffersons". Her character, Carmen, was hired by George (Sherman Hemsley) and Louise (Isabel Sanford) after Florence (Marla Gibbs) quit.

In reality, Gibbs had exited to star in her own spin-off, "Checking In", but that sitcom lasted just four episodes, paving the way for Gibbs to return to maid duty on "The Jeffersons".
