You get to a certain age when all these childhood references start falling away. RIP Larry Hagman.

Classic TV in it's day...

Sue Ellen " So JR, which slut are you seeing tonight ?"

JR " Well I tell yer, she'll be a better slut than the slut I am looking at now, darlin "

Der, Der Der, Der Der De De Der Der, Der Der Der De De Der...

Seemed a very funny guy from the interview clips I've seen. Also an environmentalist who was critical of Bush Jnr's presidential reign - which kind of flies in the face of his JR persona.
RIP

Really felt for him when this happened. But full credit for the way he handled it. RIP

Can't think that I've ever watched Dallas in my life but wasn't Larry Hagman the one who got shot?

He also had a (rather comical) cameo in The Eagle Has Landed.

Played it well I thought.

Another one of the great charachters from my childhood gone. I'm getting old.

Thought he was very wooden as an actor, but nevertheless a really top human being RIP.

He was brilliant in Dallas, made JR an icon, and against my better judgement he's got me watching its return. Wasn't he the guy in I Dream of Jeannie? Funnily enough though I'll remember him as much for his bewildered appearance on Shooting Stars. RIP fella.
