Larry Hagman, who played J.R. on 'Dallas,' dies at 81
11/24/2012Larry Hagman, star of the iconic TV show "Dallas," has died. He was 81. Hagman played the charming and dastardly oil magnate J.R. Ewing through more than 300 episodes of the show and an astonishing 14 seasons. At the show’s peak, America was captivated by a storyline that revolved around Ewing’s attempted murder, and millions of Americans tuned in to answer one of the biggest pop-culture questions of the decade: "Who Shot J.R.?" The "Who Done It" episode that aired Nov. 21, 1980 is one of the most-watched TV shows ever. Hagman’s interpretation of Ewing as a Machiavellian millionaire oozing with villainy became the stuff of TV legend. [Source]
