Goodbye Larry Hagman
I was saddened to learn this morning about the passing of Larry Hagman, the man behind Dallas. I wasn’t much of a fan of the show, but my mother loved it and I suspect had a thing for JR Ewing. However, I was a big fan of I Dream of Jeannie (I have long had a secret desire to have a hot Genie in a bottle) and enjoyed him a lot there. His filmography is truly impressive. I also really liked him in Mother, Juggs, and Speed (If you ever think you really don’t know what the 70’s were about watch this movie), the Streets of San Francisco, and I really enjoyed him in Nip/Tuck.
For those of you who claim to be connoisseurs of bad movies, he also directed a film in 1972 called Beware! The Blog! This is a sequel the the Blog and looks horribly good if you know what I mean. I have already suggested it to the guy who does my groups bad movie night as a tribute to the passing of a great actor.
Anyway, I am very sorry to see him go. From what I have heard he had a pretty good sense of humor, and that is something I always enjoy in a celebrity. (the image I got from the TV show t shirt category, by the way. I think it apropos).
