Bathing naked with his daughter?

He was the best actor on the recent reboot of Dallas.
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.
“Hagman has been a member of the Peace and Freedom Party since the 1960s.[10] Hagman derided President George W. Bush, a fellow Texan, before the Iraq War. At a signing for his book he described Bush as “A sad figure, not too well educated, who doesn’t get out of America much. He’s leading the country towards fascism”.[11]”

Barbara Eden? - I wouldn’t have lasted an hour!
What a dollie.
It’s really a dream while I was in the shower!
I wonder if that show will be able to last without him.
No, he was a disgusting lefty.
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).

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.
As a kid, I loved watching “I Dream of Jeannie”
Agreed. RIP, Major Nelson.
what’s appropos about 4:20? What’s the story there?
I know Barbara Eden is a major lib. Too bad.
He was on “I Dream of Jeanie”, right??
One of the dumbest shows ever. Ranks up there with Bewitched, McHales Navy, The Munsters, and Hogans Heroes. (like Sgt. Schultz, though)
But Larry was left of Jim, a liberal of the old Progressive v. Conservative wing of the Texas Democrat one-Party division of the early 1950's.
Wright himself and the radical left of his own latter Party deserve far more credit for the fall of Wright in 1989 than Newt can factually every dream of.
Hagman wasn't nearly as vociferous in his a**holery after getting the new liver. But he was still a loud and proud Molly Ivins-type mocking old Texas lefty.
