I watched 'Jeannie' to ogle Barbara Eden, and 'Dallas' to ogle Charlene Tilton and Victoria Principle. I have my priorities.

Hagman had a reputation of being hard to get along with, but he was a good actor. RIP, JR redrose

Named my kid after him , well sort of, his initials are JR and it stuck with him.
His friends and family call him by JR too.

When he was born too many of the other parents in the family used our name (Joseph) because we opened our mouths too often about it so we had to distinguish him between the other kids named Joseph and made his middle name Ryan. I was a big Larry Hagman fan so it only made sense in my reality ;D

I can only hope he lived a full life and would have liked to meet him.
My condolences redrose

I had forgotten he was Mary Martin's son.

Same for me, I think Jeanne was my first love and I might add she sure has aged well.

My hero is gone.  I wonder what they'll do to deal with it in the new Dallas when episodes begin.
