- Larry Hagman found fame and fortune playing one of TV's most iconic villains, J.R. Ewing on "Dallas," but his daughter alleges he had a lot in common with the rogue he played. Kristina Hagman wrote, "The Eternal Party," where she details life with the legendary actor. Hagman first hit was "I Dream Of Jeannie" in 1965. When that show came to an end, it was tough on the family. "We would have to rent our house out and go camping around America to live for free." #InsideEdition
He was a superb physical comedian and the best villain in TV history. The best in the business.
Larry was sooo handsome in his day. Those eyes
He still "had it" in his more mature years too!! Lol!
@@r.melindar.1349 i agree
Easy to see why ol' JR got all the ladies. Larry Hagman was movie star handsome.
I had no idea Larry hagman had this many health issues I just thought he had a drinking problem. He was still a fantastic actor especially in Dallas. R.I.P. Larry hagman
He had to have a liver transplant because he destroyed his liver thru drinking.
I don’t think it is fair to bring up stuff when someone is gone. They don’t have a chance to either apologize or deny.
This is very ungrateful of her. Shame on her.
Were you the child of an alcoholic? If not shut up. All i heard her say was he had a light hearted attitude. But he was an alcoholic and everybody knew it. It was her dad and if anybody had a right to talk about him it was her.
deb310red There is no shame in honesty. I don’t see any nastiness on the daughter’s part, and I found it heartwarming to learn that he was apologizing at the end.
Yes, as good and devoted kids we should hide all our parent's dark sides, moreover when they have passed away.
She didn’t say anything mean about him. He admitted he wasn’t a perfect person time and time again. This is what made Larry Hagman human. He was often willing to extend a helping hand to those in need before and after he made it big. Offered to pay for RDJ’s rehab, fought to get the cast of the show raises and wouldn’t come to work until they got equal pay, tried to help Hugh O’Connor with his drug addiction and stood by his father during their personal battles, looked out for Patrick Duffy for years before and after the show. Man there’s a list of things I can list about this guy. I remember how kind and approachable he was when he visited Atlanta back in 2010. Yeah he had his demons and his daughter wrote about them but at least it’s not coming from a half assed tabloid, it’s coming from someone that saw him through it all and still thinks the world of her dad. He was a hell of a dude and admittedly human.
I hope she said "Of course Dad, I love you!"
I hope she said what ever she needed to say to help her not have to be in therapy the rest of her life dealing with his alcoholic demons.
That's her decision not yours.
@@TheJpep2424 Thanks, wouldn't know what to do without geniuses like you. You failed to read my comment correctly because I didn't say "she should have" or "needs to" I said "I HOPE".
He was human.
Not an excuse for Giving your child drugs.
@@TheJpep2424still human
It's hard for me to see him as Major Nelson. For me he will always be JR Ewing. :( Rest In Peace Mr. Hagman.
To me I love watching him as both equally. He was great and comedy and just as great at drama. Shoot even in Dallas he had a constant sense of humor.
He will always be John Ross Ewing jr.Aka J.R Ewing
@@robertnelsonjr4648 Exactly.
@@robertnelsonjr4648 Yes. "JR" was easily one of the 5 most iconic TV characters ever. Personally, I'd say the only TV character that might've been even more iconic would be Caroll O'connor's portrayal of Archie Bunker.
@Lili Chaumont Thanks for telling me this. I had never heard that they were good friends.
Two of the most talented actors ever.
I remember wen i was young watching my grandfather get psych'd up for an episode of Dallas. He loved JR's character. I believe thats how my love for Dallas started, even though i really didnt understand the adult plots going on in the show lol
The only difference JR would have never raised or tolerated such a treacherous child . Fair enough family ties can be strained and troubled often times . But to go on national tv and write a book to cash in . That's a pretty low trick. JR always had certain boundaries when it came to his family and I bet Larry did too unlike his daughter .
What can you say about a man that played one of the most iconic villian on tv?? Thanks Larry.
yes, J.R. Ewing is one of the greatest tv characters of all time.
I'm actually really disappointed that Heidi (Kristina) would reveal so many private details about him.
I hate it when celebrity kids trash their parents.
I'm glad she told the truth- the imperfect/human side of Larry. The truth is always more interesting.
Probably needed the $$. Maj nursing home costs is why Larry agreed to TNTs DALLAS, he needed the $$
They were not private. If you read enough from that time period everybody and their brother knew he was a drunk.
He also very publicly required a liver transplant in 1995. It was made clear in the media he drank for 40 years which caused cirrhosis of the liver which caused liver cancer and without it he would die so he very nearly drank himself to death. No secrets. She talked about what everybody was aware of.
@@LBF522 how do you expect her to overcome the psychological trauma of a father who was a drunk for her entire life?
He found fame on Dallas?
He was in our livingrooms every day long before that! Coco beach ring a bell?
He is most handsome man on Television
Lol no
I watched Dallaa and nor really impressed as i am a Kid back then..Life is nothing like Dallas and i cannot relate till now. The only memory i had of Dallas is the theme song. Period.
However early of this year i just started watching i dream of Jeanie rerun. Really love the 4 conedians and really put a smile on my face. I can watched any episode of Jeanie and i can laugh but i can't do that with Dallas. Funny i am half a century old and i just discover i dream of Jeanie of the 1965 comedy show..Larry is brilliant in the show...
Handsome Larry.
If he drank 9 bottles of Champagne a day, he would have died A LOT sooner!
He basically did. He had to have a liver transplant in 1995...due to liver cancer, due to cirrhosis of the liver, due to 40 years of hard drinking. So do not discount his 9 bottles of champagne. He may have opened 9 bottles but in an alcoholic stupor he may not have known exactly how many he emptied or how many days a week he did it.
He died at 81. I believe he had a long full life. Of course everyone has bumps in the road but I think he did well
@@justina249 Only due to a liver transplant or he would've died a lot sooner.
So unnecessary for his daughter to publicly air his “dirty laundry.” Such a display of disrespect.
She needed cleansing. Hagman was entertaining but was just a front. He was a terrible father and a real skank.
Unfair when it wasn't a display of respect to cheat on her mom to begin with
gran y admirado actor!!
I hate it when reporters get things wrong. The pronounciation of Maj is MAI - not MADGE. Do your research.
Everybody knows that.
9 bottles of champagne a day? Damn
I have a lot of catching up to do!
He was on a champagne diet ! I encourage to try it.
MMAFighter38 I wonder if it was the good brands lol.
That's what caused him to require a liver transplant.
Fã de Larry Hagman from Brazil
Keith Moon was a neighbor of his in Malibu. He survived partying with Moon The Loon.
the other day i was in Dallas for graduation and i told my grandma ik ab a show called dallas she say “what you know about dallas!?”
JR said ( If you can’t get in the front door go around to the back .
I didn't know he was dealing with leukemia when he was filming the last seasons of Dallas
He had liver cancer in 1995 which was from cirrhosis of the liver which was from 40 years of hard drinking which ultimately required a liver transplant or die.
But was the iconic J.R Ewing that smoked pot
He was an avid pot smoker and hemp lover. He was also an environmentalist.
I DON'T BELIEVE ANY OF THIS GARBAGE.....
It is well documented that LH was a self-admitted alcoholic and eventually requuired a liver transplant. He also quit smoking and was a strong advocate for quitting smoking and did several PSAs. He was, like all of us, a human being.
Reminds me of Christine Crawford, Joan Crawford's adopted daughter. She probably didn't get what SHE thought she deserved in her dad's will. SOUR GRAPES!!!!
What a bunch of lies! Hey Darryle did we go to school together?
Larry has admitted all this on interviews. He's an open book. He had nightly parties at his Malibu house. His daughter was raped at age 8 by his party guests. At 15 she locked her bedroom door or left the house when he had parties. Larry was a known pot head and promoted LSD. He was a great actor on Dallas, but he had an open marriage & wild lifestyle.
They can't even say Maj right. 🤦
Why he needed a liver transplant in 1995, yes, loved his booze.
J.R. Ewing was a capitalist, but Larry Hagman was a socialist erven though he loved his money.
Hi
Not nice.
Always the ghastly daughter?!!
gee. near the end there, he looked haggard. lol!!!
He was ill. You'll be old one day too. Don't be so cruel.
He must have been pretty tough to live to over 80 with the health problems he had.
Larry acted stupid on I dream of Jeannie but he was conveying on Dallas
No, Larry hagman was brilliant on I dream of Jeanne, just ask the late bill daily
@@lloydkline3265 I didn't say he was stupid I meant his character portadid him that way he was a brilliant actor in both shows
@@ethelhoose2972 I dream of Jeannie is a sweet show and Hagman was really funny in it but Dallas is one of the best shows ever and JR one of the best tv characters ever shown.
I think you mean conniving.
