Victoria Principal's former maid is suing the actress for allegedly pointing a gun at her.

Maribel Banegas claims that the Dallas star flew into a rage when her hired help took too long to walk her pet dog Mei-Ling.

The maid tried to explain that the pooch wouldn't poop, but Principal fired her - and then allegedly pulled a pistol on her when Banegas asked for her wages, according to TMZ.com.

She claims the actress "pointed and aimed" the gun at her and "verbally threatened to kill" her.

Banegas claims assault, false imprisonment and emotional distress. She is calling for unspecified damages.

Despite roles in hit movie Earthquake it was her casting as Pamela barnes Ewing in Dallas in 1978 that made the actress a star.

She stayed with the show for nine years.
