Now I wasn't expecting this...

RIP

a sad sad day he was one of the great actors of our time i grew up on jr ewing

RIP Mr. Hagman.

Dang, I kept thinking somebody big was going to pass during the holidays. RIP Larry Hagman! He had a long history in the biz.

Apparently he had cancer for a long time.

God bless him and his family. Also his wife has Alzheimer's.

RIP

If it's true, RIP but something sounds dodgy to me.

He always looked like he was having a good time. A tip of the hat to a tv legend.

Hagman told the Times that after death he wanted his remains to be "spread over a field and have marijuana and wheat planted and harvest it in a couple of years and then have a big marijuana cake, enough for 200 to 300 people. People would eat a little of Larry."

RIP

R.I.P.

Love this his role on Genie.

So tragic. It was cancer that shot J.R.

One ironic thing about his life was that he was most famous for playing an evil oil baron, yet in is real life he was one of the first adopters of alternative energy, as he had solar panels installed around his estate.

I wonder how they will write this into the next season of Dallas.

At any rate, RIP to a Hollywood TV legend.

Larry was always cool.

Dallas without J.R? UGH

RIP

Dallas without JR is like cream cheese without a bagel.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Hagman. You will be sorely missed.

Iconic television actor Larry Hagman passed away Friday in Dallas at the age of 81 after a recent battle with cancer. The "Dallas" and "I Dream of Jeannie" star was remembered by many of his peers, colleagues and longtime admirers with an outpouring of support.

Barbara Eden
Co-star, "I Dream of Jeannie"
"As I received the news this evening and as you read this I still cannot completely express the shock and impact from the news that Larry Hagman has passed. I can still remember, that first day on Zuma Beach with him, in the frigid cold. From that day for five more years, Larry was the center of so many fun, wild, shocking… and in retrospect, memorable moments that will remain in my heart forever.

He was such a key element in my life for so long and even, years after I Dream of Jeannie; our paths crossed many times. Throughout various productions I had the pleasure of watching the Texas Tornado that was Larry Hagman. Amidst a whirlwind of big laughs, big smiles and unrestrained personality Larry was always, simply Larry. You couldn't fault him for it, it was just who he was. I am so thankful that this past year I was able to spend time with him and experience yet again ‘Larry’ in all his Big Texas bravado.

I, like many others believed he had beat Cancer and yet we are reminded that life is never guaranteed. My deepest condolences go out to his wife Maj, his son and daughter and his grandchildren, as well as his friends in this time of his passing. I can honestly say that we've lost not just a great actor, not just a television icon, but an element of pure Americana.

Goodbye Larry, there was no one like you before and there will never be anyone like you again.
-Barbara

Warner Bros. Television
Producers of new "Dallas"
"A giant, a larger-than-life personality whose iconic performance as J.R. Ewing will endure as one of the most indelible in entertainment history. He truly loved portraying this globally recognized character, and he leaves a legacy of entertainment, generosity and grace."

TNT
New "Dallas" network
"All of us at TNT are deeply saddened at the news of Larry Hagman's passing," the cable network said in a statement. "He was a wonderful human being and an extremely gifted actor. We will be forever thankful that a whole new generation of people got to know and appreciate Larry through his performance as J.R. Ewing."

Can't believe he's gone.

I just have so much love for this man. Just a great actor.

The new show just isn't going to be the same without him.

Rest In Peace Mr. Hagman

damn!

I don't know absolutely anything about his private life/beliefs/opinions (and probably it's better that way) but he was an ICON

RIP

-

...we should prepare ourselves to witness the death of our beloved icons of the 60s and 70s...they are getting that old...

A true fictional American bad ass, be at peace Mr. Hagman as there will never be another like you.

Watch them both religiously.

1. First of all, ........

2. Second of all, Dallas (TNT series) is going to potentially suck from this point on.

He was definitely TV royalty and there will never be another one like him.

R.I.P. He was a great actor, I Dream of Jeannie was a great show
