Today Larry Hagman died in Dallas. He was 81 years old. He was "bad guy" J. R. Ewing in "Dallas" but also Major TZony Nelson in "I dream of Jeannie".

Larry Martin Hagman (September 21, 1931 – November 23, 2012) was an American film and television actor best known for playing J. R. Ewing in the 1980s primetime television soap opera Dallas His supporting roles films include appearances in Fail-Safe, Superman, JFK, Nixon and Primary Colors. His television appearances continued in international soap operas and with guest roles on shows such as Desperate Housewives into the 21st century. In 2012, he reprised his role as J.R. Ewing in an updated version of Dallas. Earlier in his career, he played Major Anthony "Tony" Nelson in the 1960s sitcom I Dream of Jeannie. He also occasionally worked as a producer and director on television.

Hagman was the son of the actress Mary Martin. A long-time drinker, he underwent a life-saving liver transplant in 1995, and although a member of a 12-step program, he publicly advocated marijuana as a better alternative to alcohol. He died on November 23, 2012, of complications from throat cancer.

Good bye Larry

I was never a "Dallas" fan but I watched "I dream of Jennie" re-runs all through my childhood.
Jennie was the Original "Brat" slave and if her Master/Daddy  Tony would have just taken her over his Knee once or twice
He would have had less problems.
Anyway, sorry to hear a TV legend is gone.

I remember JR EWING   with a fondness of his wicked & naughty antics in Dallas.  His 10 gallon stetson, wierd eyeborows  and the rich arrogant oilman will always be Larry Hagman in my eyes  in a nice way of course.

Rest in piece JR, go cause havoc in heaven...   it would only be fitting of your stature ...   kissing my red rose and throwing it in the meandering stream to the waiting spirits,  watching the water lap at it as it floats away ...  Sleep Tight JR  xx

He played some very interesting characters, and from what I've read was an interesting character in his own right.

He will be missed by many.  May he rest in peace.


P.S.  And... I envy any man who got to hold Barbara Eden in his arms.

Larry was a fine actor.  The episode "Who shot JR",,was the highlight on tv.  Watched by so many people.  The perfect con man and womanizer.
