http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-20474197 | | | | Quote: Larry Hagman, who spent more than a decade playing TV villain JR Ewing has died at the age of 81, his family says.
Hagman, who had suffered from cancer and cirrhosis of the liver, died in hospital on Friday afternoon, according to a family statement.
"Larry was back in his beloved Dallas, re-enacting the iconic role he loved most," said the family. "He was surrounded by loved ones."
Long-time friend Linda Gray, who played Sue Ellen, was by his bedside.
"Larry Hagman was my best friend for 35 years," said Ms Gray in a statement released by her agent.
"He was the Pied Piper of life and brought joy to everyone he knew. He was creative, generous, funny, loving and talented and I will miss him enormously.
"He was an original and lived life to the full." | | | | |

I watched the new series and was looking forward to seeing him continue in the role. He played one of the most lovable villains ever to grace our screens and will be genuinely missed. I guess this time it's not a dream  _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly."

Maybe so, but that was before my time so I can't comment on it. _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly." When you're feeling too silly for x404, youRwired.net

I used to watch it on channel 4 in the daytime during school holidays, loved it. Mainly because I fancied jeannie.
