at Sturgis2000 more than a few years back...
Sad to see him go, but after reading Barbara Eden’s book I see him as more of a pain in the back pockets. Such juvenile tantrums and unprofessional activities.
And of course, after school, we saw the Jeannie reruns... not sure if we ever really connected that good guy Maj. Nelson was the evil J.R.!
**sigh** I'm feeling older tonight.
My wife and I happened to watch the first episode of Dallas. My wife really liked it and I didn’t mind watching it.
One thing they missed on continuity was Juicy, oops I mean Lucy was originally cast as the a different person than she later was.
well...at least he went out doing what he liked

I always thought his comedic skills (in “Jeannie”) were top-notch, and he was actually rather underrated.
As a human being, well... I read a long, long interview of him (where he went on endlessly about his dope/alcohol use, and his pursuits of ‘opening his mind’), and he came across as one of the most ridiculously self-absorbed personalities that I could imagine. Very juvenile and stunted mind, incapable of seeing anything beyond himself. Downright cringe-worthy, reading that interview.
It’s really a dream while I was in the shower!
I found out he was from Weatherford, Tx when I lived in Fort Worth for a few years in the 80s. His mother was Mary Martin who played Peter Pan in the TV version (1960). There’s a statue of her as Peter Pan in downtown Weatherford. Hagman also played an interpreter to President (Fonda) in the movie Fail-Safe (1964).
Jeannie, we're the only two left.
RIP, Tony

I am probably wrong but back in the 60s I was visiting my Sister in Ft. Walton Bch. FL and happened to see two girls in bikinis walk by on the sidewalk.
They were both pretty but one was gorgeous. I still remember her face and figure. Later when Dallas came on I swore that Victoria Principal was the girl I had seen.
Was Hagman a commie? Most in Hollywood are.
Am I too late to say: I thought he was dead?
Damn, what a shame. He was one of those actors that breathed actual life into his character. And I really like that Linda Gray and others from “Dallas” have stayed together as such a close groups of friends after the original series ended.
I guess John Ross is really on his own, now....
RIP JR, for real.
One of the great character actors of all time. Played JR to the hilt, no one could’ve done it better.
Has anyone posted yet: “Never heard of him”?
You were truly one of a kind; my entire family enjoyed your presence on tv.
Farewell Mr. Hagman. And we thank you.
He got the good TV roles.
I Dream of Jeannie and Dallas.
Surprised to learn he was 81.
Time flies.
RIP
