In Memoriam

Larry Hagman (1931 – 2012)

I was on vacation when I heard the news of the passing of the legendary J.R. Ewing.  Larry Hagman had an impressive resume in his long career, working more in television productions than film, but his star shone (and still shines) as bright as those of the most famous of film actors.

As Dallas’ incomparable bad guy, one of the best examples of baddies we love and hate, he was the heart of that show and it was a pleasure to see him back playing that old character in the very good follow up to the 1980s mainstay.

He will be missed.
