Barbara Stynwick must had been shown a lot of money. In order to get to TV. As her movie career was winding down. She plays the headstrong but sympathetic head of the owner of the ranch. Which was controversial at the time.
She played a mom that had her hands full, raising her children as a single mother who's husband died six years prior to where the show began.
There was even tempered and calmer attorney Jarrod, hot tempered but sympathetic Nick, illegitimate son Heath who had to prove his worth to the family, and only daughter Audra who was stubborn but yet, one action gal.
They do not make westerns like they used to like "Bonanza" or the "Big Valley!"
