ENTERTAINMENT : ‘Dallas’ Turns Its Back on Dallas
For the first time since 1978, the television series “Dallas” will not be filmed here this summer, a spokesman for Lorimar Productions said today.
“They’re not planning to come down at the usual time to shoot the first 12 episodes,” David Stapf told reporters. “No decision has been made for the entire year.”
