The Dallas star – whom I remember best for his comedic work, on TV’s I Dream of Jeannie – passed 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.
