Larry Hagman Dead At 81, Portrayed Notorious TV Villain J.R. Ewing

Larry Hagman, who created one of American television's most supreme villains in the conniving, amoral oilman J.R. Ewing of "Dallas," died on Friday, the Dallas Morning News reported. He was 81.

Hagman died at a Dallas hospital of complications from his battle with throat cancer, the newspaper said, quoting a statement from his family. He had suffered from liver cancer and cirrhosis of the liver in the 1990s after decades of drinking.

Hagman's mother was stage and movie star Mary Martin and he became a star himself in 1965 on "I Dream of Jeannie," a popular television sitcom in which he played Major Anthony Nelson, an astronaut who discovers a beautiful genie in a bottle.

Here's where we are at as a people --- every news channel I watched this morning had 5-10 minutes about Larry Hagman and how the world will miss this wonderful Hollywood creation. Less than 30 seconds on the Americans that obama WATCHED fight for their lives and die. And then he caught a flight to Vegas. And STILL can't get his story straight about what happened. Just play the same tape he watched LIVE. No "investigation" is necessary. Just more time is needed to find the latest "sacrificial lamb" to serve up to the people....this is a government that can track a citizen 24 -7, invests hundreds of BILLIONS of tax dollars into every satellite and surveillance system (most are Top Secret) possible and THREE MONTHS LATER (!!) still "don't what what happened"?? And 51% of Americans BELIEVE that??? Well, if you can continue to fall for the bright future promised with Hope and Change or "Forward", then THIS is an easy plate full of crap to eat and act like its tasty.

I remember a song back in the 80's that typified my my ex wife's mentality.It was called "I ain't JR,and you ain't Sue Ellen".If you have'nt guessed it was about a very high maintenance woman.
