Michelle Louise Stevens (formerly Beaumont and Barnes) is a fictional
character that appeared in the later seasons of the popular American
television series Dallas, played by Kimberly Foster from 1989 to 1991.
In an interview for the Reading Eagle, Kimberly Foster described her
character, "Michelle doesn't have a limit on how far she'll go with
anything or anybody. She's very smart and devious and conniving. She
lies, too, but I think still she has some vulnerability. She's always
trying to find out everyone else's business, but she has secrets going
on with just about everybody, too. She has some pain in her heart. I
think it's because she grew up in the shadow of her sister".Michelle,
the scheming younger sister of April Stevens, comes to Dallas, envious
of the lifestyle of her rich sister. She decides to get involved in
the wheeling and dealing that is going on around her. She initially
involves herself with Cliff Barnes, but spies on him for J.R. Ewing.
J.R. grows to dislike Michelle after she interferes with his marriage
to Cally. When Michelle begins an affair with J.R.'s son, James
Beaumont, J.R. arranges for Michelle to leave town.Following April's
death, Michelle returns to Dallas bent on revenge. After inheriting
April's wealth, she buys Ewing Oil from LeeAnn De La Vega (played by
Barbara Eden) and marries James Beaumont, much to J.R.'s displeasure.
Michelle's marriage is short-lived as she later learns that James was
already married to someone else. After James tells her he's leaving
town with his wife and child, Michelle sells 50% of Ewing Oil to Cliff
Barnes, but a greedy Cliff takes advantage of Michelle's drunken state
and marries her to control 100% of Ewing Oil. Michelle is jailed for
shooting and killing Hillary Taylor, the woman responsible for April's
death. Michelle is released after J.R. offers to persuade the district
attorney's office to drop the charges. In exchange for his help,
Michelle sells her 50% of Ewing Oil back to J.R. - making him equal
business partners with Cliff. Michelle Stevens Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
