I think that everybody in the world, whatever colour or creed, has a jerk like JR in his or her family somewhere. Whether it is a father, uncle, cousin or brother, everybody can identify with JR and that certainly had something to do with the success of 'Dallas.'

No no there wasn't any planned 14th season, we all saw the writing on the wall. The ratings had been going down and so fourth, that curve goes on every show and in everybody's life.

But there is no withdrawal, but with tobacco there is terrible withdrawal, it is almost impossible for a lot of people. I did , I went cold turkey, they never had any patches in those days but grass was not difficult, alcohol not difficult, but tobacco - oh my god.
Larry Hagman
When we started the show, 'Dallas' was known as the city where JFK was assassinated. By the end it was known as JR's home town.

You know Hollywood is a weird and wonderful place, I didn't know I Dream of Jeanie had been cancelled after 5 years until I went back to go on the lot to pick up some clothes and things I had in my dressing room.

My credo is etched on my mirror in my bathroom and I see it when I brush my teeth in the morning. It says, Don't worry, Be Happy, Feel Good. When you see that first thing, and you reflect on it, the rest of the day seems to glide by pretty well.
Larry Hagman
I'm happy to be here. I'm happy to be anywhere. I'm not kidding.
