R.I.P. J.R.

Well, this is just too sad: Larry Hagman has died.

The Dallas star – whom I remember best for his comedic work, on TV’s I Dream of Jeanniepassed away on Black Friday at age 81. His family said the actor died from complications from his recent fight with cancer, which he was seemingly beating.

Alas, cancer is a mofo that just won’t quit. And from everything I read as Hagman promoted his return to the tube as J.R. Ewing on the TNT continuation of his most famous ’80s sudser, he gave it quite a fight.

“Larry Hagman was a giant, a larger-than-life personality,” read a statement issued on behalf of the show’s powers that be, cast, and crew.

Indeed, he was.
