One of the more iconic actors of his time. I remember him in "I Dream of Jeanie" with my boyhood crush, Barbara Eden.
I never watched "Dallas" much at all. But his I remember his character, JR Ewing, dominating the series.
RIP

Agree....Barbara Eden's Jeannie.....and Julie Newmar's Catwoman. Wow! RE: Hagman. He certainly lived quite a life. To make it to 81 is quite remarkable, considering..... In 1967, rock musician David Crosby turned him on to LSD, which Hagman said took away his fear of death, and Jack Nicholson introduced him to marijuana because Nicholson thought he was drinking too much.
Hagman had started drinking as a teenager and said he did not stop until the moment in 1992 when his doctor told him he had cirrhosis of the liver and could die within six months. Hagman wrote that for the past 15 years he had been drinking about four bottles of champagne a day, including while on the “Dallas” set.
LIVER TRANSPLANT
In July 1995, he was diagnosed with liver cancer, which led him to quit smoking, and a month later he underwent a liver transplant.
Hagman told the Times that after death he wanted his remains to be ”spread over a field and have marijuana and wheat planted and harvest it in a couple of years and then have a big marijuana cake, enough for 200 to 300 people. People would eat a little of Larry.“Was he stoned when he said that? Ha! From: Article |
