^ I grew up watching I Dream of Jeannie on Nick at Nite. I didn't know of his Dallas role until I read about the Who Shot JR episode covered on EW when I was about 11, I think it was like the 15th anniversary of that episode or something...

Same here

He was as big an anti-smoking zealot as me!

Here's an old clip of him on Diana Ross' TV special.

I think I must have been about your age or so when the Who Shot JR episode aired: it was like, THE biggest moment on TV ever since maybe the Moon landing The whole damned country seemed to be talking about it! The way people were sitting and waiting for that show to come on back then, reading about it on the cover of every magazine each week - it really was a phenomenon for it's time and old Larry was in the center of it all

We all thought it was Sue Ellen.... R.I.P., J.R.
