RIP: Larry Hagman (1931-2012)

Larry Hagman, the North Texas native who played the conniving and mischievous J.R. Ewing on the TV show Dallas, died Friday at a Dallas hospital. He was 81.

Mr. Hagman died at 4:20 p.m. Friday at Medical City Dallas Hospital from complications of his recent battle with cancer, members of his family said.

“Larry was back in his beloved Dallas, re-enacting the iconic role he loved most,” the family said in a statement. “Larry’s family and close friends had joined him in Dallas for the Thanksgiving holiday. When he passed, he was surrounded by loved ones. It was a peaceful passing, just as he had wished for. The family requests privacy at this time.”

R.I.P Larry, to my generation you'll always be Major Anthony Nelson. He played an astronaut that was worshipped by a beautiful girl with magical powers. As an 11 year old boy, I couldn't imagine a better fate. Actually, as a 58 year old man, it still sounds pretty cool.
