ejp626 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 I kind of thought Hagman had passed away a year or two ago. Well, that would be really creepy, as he was on the revamped Dallas just this past summer... I guess it was renewed and wonder how much footage with him is still in the can, so to speak.

JSngry Posted November 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 It's JR that's died this time, not hagman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValerieB Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 he fought a very long, courageous battle. RIP, Mr. Hagman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinuta Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Although he will always be remembered as one of tv's greatest villians, the part that sticks in my mind is the Russian language translator to Henry Fonda in ' Failsafe'. RIP Larry Hagman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B. Goren. Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 I'm old enough to remember him from "I Dream of Jeannie". RIP Mr. Hagman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertoart Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Yep. He'll always be Major Nelson the good guy to me. One of my funniest memories of Hagman, was when he went on an anti smoking tirade a few years ago, and took to carrying around a portable hand-held fan - that he would stick in the face of smokers to blow back the smoke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP Larry Hagman. Yeah, that was a good role! I also mainly remember him as Major Nelson from "I Dream of Jeannie." Never watched "Dallas."

BruceH Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Considering how much he used to drink, I'm amazed he lasted this long. He must have had a liver of steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA Russell Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Presently, this title is "JR Ewing - the actor who played Larry Hagman - is dead now."

JSngry Posted November 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Southfork Ranch (it's a real place) did record tour business over the weekend. Fans came from all over the world. Or at least, they were in town for the holiday from all over the world, and made it a point to get to Southfork. Either way, Southfork had not seen Dallas-related visitation business like that for several decades now, and has been serving as an events/banquet facility (my son's high school band banquets were always held there).

Some of us would have said, "Larry Hagman - the actor who played JR Ewing - is dead now." I don't know, I kinda liked the idea that J.R. was not only a brilliant businessman, bedded a lot of hot chicks and was such a schmuck, but also was an actor portraying Larry Hagman.

JSngry Posted November 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 It was weird living in th Dallas area when the show hit...we went from being The City That Killed Kennedy to Home Of God's Team & J.R. Ewing in the span of less than five years. Money came out of the woodwork, not all of it local, and there was quite a party. for almost a decade. Kennedy's still dead, the Cowboys have sucked for almost a quarter century, & J.R. Ewing is still revered, more now than ever. And yet tourists still come to get a taste of it. They drive by Parkland and get all misty-eyed, but if they dared go inside, they would see a real-time, real-life horror. But they never do. They usually head over to Sonny Bryan's and fall in love with meat. Oh, the irony! Chumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Garrett Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Great HuffPo obit: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/24/larry-hagman-dead-dies_n_2180944.html 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." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swinging Swede Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 I guess it was renewed and wonder how much footage with him is still in the can, so to speak. I read somewhere that he had completed 6 of 15 episodes for the second season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
