Susan Howard (born January 28, 1944 in Marshall , Texas ; actually Jeri Lynn Mooney ) is an American actress .

Her father, who raved about his daughter's looks and talent, gave her the idea to give acting a try. She spent two years at the University of Texas before moving to Hollywood. For several years she was a member of the Los Angeles Repertory Company. In the 1960s she received her first guest roles, u. a. in Bonanza , Charming Jeannie , Columbo and Spaceship Enterprise . Her role as Tony Petrocelli's ( Barry Newman ) wife Maggie on the television series Petrocelli earned her Emmy and Golden Globe nominations.

After her originally planned guest appearance on the television series Dallas , the producers were so impressed by Susan Howard that they expanded her role, in which she ultimately remained for nine years.

Later US President George W. Bush appointed her Commissioner for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department during his tenure as Governor of Texas - which overtook her from her role as Donna Culver Krebbs, who was also involved in politics in Dallas .
