#27: Kate O’Mara as Caress Morell
Kate O’Mara stormed into Dynasty as Caress Morell, Alexis Carrington’s conniving sister and occasional adversary. Draped in silk and secrets, Caress was both vengeful and vulnerable—a mirror image of Alexis without the wealth or power. O’Mara relished every cutting line, turning sibling rivalry into high art and adding delicious tension to the show’s later seasons.

Before Dynasty, O’Mara was a respected British television actress, celebrated for her work in The Brothers and Triangle. Known for her wit, intelligence, and striking looks, she had already earned a reputation for playing complex, fiery women. Her transition to American prime time was seamless—she fit Dynasty’s opulence like a glove.
