Died yesterday at the age of 81, best known to millions across the world as JR Ewing

But previously, a fine comic actor in 60s series "I Dream of Jeannie"

Was only taking about him yesterday. Never watched Dallas but loved I dream of Jeannie.

RIP Larry

Was he shot?

RIP but never a fan of Dallas.

Thanks OBL ! Well deserving of his own thread. Even if people didn't watch Dallas everyone knew JR. Who shot JR was legendary and made headline BBC news. Is my memory clouded or did they release the result programme simultaneously. Simply fantastic role but I also liked Larry offscreen. I could be wrong but always struck me as thankful for JR rather than head up his own arse. I haven't seen the new series but look forward to it.

And for the record Linda Gray. Utterly gorgeous !
