I probably never will get over the quiz show when the contestant was asked: “Who did Lee Harvey Oswald shoot in Dallas.” And she said: “JR Ewing?”
And when she so quickly realised it was the wrong answer.

In the final scene of the 1979-80 season of Dallas, JR Ewing (Larry Hagman) hears a noise outside his office, walks out to the corridor to look, and is shot twice by an unseen assailant.  The episode, titled “A House Divided,” was broadcast on March 21, 1980, and was written by Rena Down and directed by Leonard Katzman.  Viewers had to wait all summer to learn whether JR would survive, and which of his many enemies was responsible.  
JR was a villain on the series who regularly double-crossed business associates, plotted against his own family, called wife Sue Ellen (Linda Gray) a “slut,” and had her committed to a sanatorium so he could take custody of their infant son.
Ultimately, in the “Who Done It?’ episode which aired November 21, 1980, the shooter was revealed to be Kristin Shepard (Mary Crosby). Kristin was JR’s scheming sister in law and mistress who shot him in a fit of anger.  JR did not press charges, as Kristin claimed she was pregnant with his child as a result of their affair.  
“Who Done It?” was, at the time, the highest-rated television episode in US history.  It had a Nielsen rating of 53.3 and a 76% share, and it was estimated that 83 million people watched the episode, more than the number of voters in that year’s presidential election.  The previous record for a TV episode had been the 1967 finale for the The Fugitive.  “Who Done It?” now sits second on the list, beaten in 1983 by the final episode of MASH.  The “Who Done It?” episode was an international event, with more than 350 million people tuning in to find out who shot JR.  A session of the Turkish parliament was suspended to allow legislators a chance to get home in time to view the conclusion of the cliffhanger.  
Text is from the Wikipedia entry for “Who Shot JR?”.  My italics.

"Good acting is all in the writing. If it isn't on the page, then it really won't make any difference. You cannot act on force of personality alone."
Happy Birthday Larry Hagman,
Septemer 21, 1931.

The handsome Larry Hagman in vintage. Many people from all over the world will remember him as JR Ewing the ruthless Texan oil baron from Dallas the tv series that captivated us in the 80's making him a household name ever since. I did not want to post a pic of him as we know him in the series. I needed to see the real and honest man in person and what better way than to have him in vintage. Born Larry Martin Hagman on 21 September 1931 in Fort Worth, Texas, USA. He was the son of Broadway Legend Mary Martin, who made a handful of movies for Paramount in the 40's. He had a troubled relationship with his mother, through the late 50's mother and son performed together in a London production of one of her biggest hits, South Pacific. His father was a district attorney Benjamin Jack Hagman. Hangman's parents divorced when he was only five years old, his mother later remarried and for decades was a close friend of Oscar winner Janet Gaynor. Unlike his Dallas character, Larry Hagman was a liberal who once described the then US president, George W. Bush as a sad figure, not too well educated, who doesn't get out of America much. He's leading the country towards 'fascism'. Also worth noting is that Hangman's Ojai Southern California estate was thoroughly equipped with solar energy panels. He once claimed that those had been costly to install ($750,000), but his energy bills since then had been extremely low. He also became a spokesperson for Solar World, telling viewers his oil days was in the past. He married Maj Axelsson in 1954 til his death in 2012 after a long battle with cancer, he was 81. A wonderful and fascinating man, I have omitted many interesting details about his life before his incarnation of his Dallas character. He certainly is worth reviewing again, such a marvelous and larger than life man. For now lets just admire these wonderful and beautiful vintage photos of a man that has become known in television history as the most beloved villain of the modern era 🔥🔥
