Lucy Ewing was known as the promiscuous, troublemaking teenager of the show. She was born in 1962 to teenage newlywed parents Gary Ewing and Valene Ewing. Valene had been living at Southfork when Gary ran away not coping with the situation. Valene found living at the ranch very difficult and ran away only for J.R's men to hunt her down and take the Ewing baby back to Southfork and threatened Valene never to return. Lucy was then raised by Miss Ellie Ewing and her parents never saw each other until Lucy brought them to see each other again after finding Valene who was working as a waitress.
