Posted November 24, 2012 Linda Gray, who plays Sue Ellen Ewing on Dallas, called Larry Hagman her "best friend for 35 years" and was at his bedside when he died, her agent told the BBC. In a statement, she said: "He was the Pied Piper of life and brought joy to everyone he knew. He was creative, generous, funny, loving and talented and I will miss him enormously. He was an original and lived life to the full." The Guardian 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 25, 2012 Ah yes, I watched I Dream of Genie as a kid too, then Dallas later on. Both great shows. Had to look him up on Wkiki for some bio, would have been a nice fit here I agree. Uh, so would Sue Ellen "Linda Gray", Quite the babe at 71 !! http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a4/Linda_Gray.jpg 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 25, 2012 now j.r. was a guy who would have fit right in here at the t.o.b. bunkhouse Actually,part of my pen name was inspired by Larry Hagman's performance on "Dallas." Have any of you watched the brand new continuation of "Dallas ' on TNT (cable ) ?? Last year was the first season of fresh episodes and they were all very good. Heard Hagman had completed half of the next season before he passed away. Those episodes start airing in January. Larry Hagman was very good in both " I Dream of Jeannie" and "Dallas," but how many of you recall his cameo giving "Miss Techmacher " (Valerie Perrine" a chest massage in the movie "Superman " ?? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 25, 2012 Looking back on I Dream of Genie, we can ponder why the Larry Hagman character didn't make certain requests of Genie. She would dutifully respond with "yes, master," for presumably anything he asked. Oh, the possibilities. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 2, 2012 He'll always be Major Nelson. I watched "Jeannie" avidly as a child. Hagman in real life was a real "Space Cowboy" which added a very interesting dimension to the actor. Rest in peace, sir, and thanks for the memories. BTW, he published a cute bio, "Hello, Darlin'", some years ago. Worth a read. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
