Hagman first came into our living rooms on I Dream of Jeannie, but it was his role as evil J.R.Ewing that most will remember him from. The prime time soap was once TV's highest rated program, especially the season someone aimed a gun at Hagman's character, leaving fans pondering "Who Shot J.R.?" for several months, in one of the best cliffhangers of all time.
With several episodes already completed, the announcement of Hagman's death has producers scrambling to make major storyline changes.
In a bizarre twist, it was one month ago (October 24) that my beloved cat J.R. also passed away. I named him after the Dallas star...his full name was J.R. Ewing-Leavoy.
