Who Shot Him?
Larry Hagman died this morning. I'm informed from his bio that he was: A) Born in Texas, B)the son of Mary Martin (who played Peter Pan), and C) the star of both I Dream of Jeannie and Dallas.
Fame is just so fascinating to me. Every image of Hagman on my computer monitor shows the man in a ten-gallon hat. Did Hagman wear a ten-gallon hat prior to Dallas, I wonder? If the show never took off, would Hagman have worn an astronaut's uniform after Jeannie ended? Does Jamie Farr dress like Carmen Miranda when publicity opportunities arise?
Clayton Moore had "The Lone Ranger," engraved on his headstone. Not his wife's name. His role. On a Children's show. In the 1950's.
Fame fascinates me.

He was currently reprising his role as J.R. Ewing. Plus he was a texan (born and died in texas) and I think big cowboy hats are considered normal wear there. I had no idea his mother was Peter Pan!i
