Born 1958 in San Diego, California, American actress and singer Charlene Tilton had early roles on such television series such Happy Days and Eight Is Enough. She made her first film appearance alongside Jodie Foster in Freaky Friday (1976).
In 1978, Tilton made a cameo appearance in the John Milius film Big Wednesday. The same year, she made her big break by landing the role of Lucy Ewing, the sly, vixenish, frequently frustrated granddaughter of John “Jock” Ewing Sr. and the former Eleanor “Ellie” Southworth on the television series Dallas, from 1978 to 1985 and from 1988 to 1990.
At the height of her Dallas fame, Tilton received a $50,000 salary per episode, appeared on 500 magazine covers, and drew 65 million viewers for her 1981 TV wedding.
Tilton is also a singer, lending her vocal ability to a 1978 episode of Dallas titled “Runaway”, in which Greg Evigan guest-starred. In 1984, she released the dance-pop single “C’est la Vie”, which became a hit in several European countries, though not in the United States.
