Dallas actor Larry Hagman (JR Ewing) has passed away

I used love the TV series 'Dallas' as a child in Zimbabwe! It was one of the first glimpses that I had into America. So it really makes me sad to report that actor Larry Hagman who played JR Ewing has died. He passed away at a Dallas hospital on Friday (November 23) surrounded by close friends and family. Linda Gray’s agent, Jeffrey Lane confirmed Larry‘s death by saying that the actress was at his bedside when he passed away. You may recall that Linda played Larry's wife Sue Ellen on the TV show. Jeffrey also said that co-star Patrick Duffy was also by Larry‘s side. I love how their on screen chemistry translated into life long friendships.

The 81-year-old actor last television appearances were on the resurrected Dallas show, which centered on a new generation of Ewings.

So sad! Were you a Dallas fan?
