In early 1991 I lived in Romania for 3 1/2 months while processing the adoptions of my children through a very uncooperative system. I rented a small studio apartment during my stay. I had no radio or TV for entertainment, but the thing I looked forward to every night at the same time, was hearing the Dallas theme song through the walls. I was very homesick because I was there much longer than I thought I would be, and that was a little taste of home every night. I never new the back story on why Dallas was on their TV every night, so thank you for sharing.
That was a great 80 minutes. It was nice to hear that Larry Hagman was a real mensch and a good friend. Sad to hear about the deterioration of his beloved wife at the end. That was a downer. Very sad. Thank you, Mark. You’re very pleasant company and a great story teller. And thank you, Eric. Best of luck with the hand tomorrow.
One of my mother's closest friends ran around with Larry Hagman at Weatherford HS. She smoked and died of lung cancer. Larry even came to the hospital when she was on her deathbed. When my mother came to visit her, my mother said she got the VIP treatment because they thought she was with Larry Hagman.
@@AmericasUntoldStories Already subscribed. Barnes and Viva sent me here. And I blame Groubert for turning me into a JFK conspiracy theorists (LBJ did it)...
I have wondered whether my mother's friend "G" was the woman that first persuaded the str8-laced Larry Hagman to try smoking for the first time during high school.
I met Larry Hagman once at the Love Run charity motorcycle ride in Los Angeles. He was the Grand Marshall and I was covering it for a biker magazine. We had an interesting but unusual conversation.
Im a sound engineer for live events. In 2011 I did an event at Union Station in Dallas. It was a charitable fundraiser of some sort. There is a banquet hall in the station....and its worst sounding room on the planet. I struggled in vain to make all the speeches audible to the attendees. Larry Hagman was present, and was going to give a sort keynote address at the end. So after a series of people giving speeches that no one understood....Hagman gets up to speak... He cleverly repositioned the microphone, moving it further away... He began to speak, mostly relying on the natural sound of the room. His voice only lightly came through PA system, and he was completely audible. He opened the speech remarking on how terrible everyone else sounded, but not to worry because he knew how to sound great.
Guys you make it interesting every time, I'm from Denmark, saw the show as a kid - and thanks to American and English TV I'm fluently speaking English, even with accents. You guys are doing a great job 😊
Mark, thank you for sharing that part of your life with Larry Hagman. I always loved Larry Hagman - especially in I Dream Of Jeanie. He did an amazing job of acting and covering up his own sweet personality while portraying JR on Dallas. It was cool that he was in the Air Force, since he played an Air Force officer on I dream Of Jeanie. Thank you, again.
I loved this, thank you! I loved Larry Hagman and am charmed / thrilled to hear about his marriage, his uprightness, his quirkiness & humour....all filtered through Mark's hilarity. Laughed and laughed, once again thank you!
Absolutely love your content !! Why this channel does not have 100k + subscribers ?! It’s so entertaining while deeply informative, thank you so much to both of you for this great work.
you can tell larry meant a lot to you mark. thanks for sharing the stories. larry sounds a like a fun guy to hang out with. loved him on i dream of jeanie.
I met Larry Hagman when I was a waiter around 1992. I served his table. This was in NYC and he was wearing a cowboy hat. He was at least 50 lbs overweight and his head had a constant shake or twitch. He spoke very slow with long pauses. He looked prematurely old.
@cat5dookie1 Larry Hagman was suffering from liver failure around that time and had to have a liver transplant a couple of years after that. I would bet that is why he looked so bad in 1992.
I loved this episode and as always its so intriguing and fascinating hearing all the tid-bits you'd never hear if it weren't for Mark! Thank you for sharing them Mark, as well as your personal stories with him. I honestly think these episodes just get better every week. I ended up watching it with my mom. She was bored and I told her I had this to watch and she wasn't really keen cos she didn't like JR in Dallas but I reassured her, 'mom you're going to enjoy this, guaranteed you'll hear things about Larry you never knew'. She humored me. We had to pause half way through but she couldn't wait to get back into it. She still doesn't like JR but she was thoroughly entertained. Safe to say she's going to want to watch more of these with me. She also agrees that Mark is an excellent storyteller!
Larry Hagman was a big supporter of organ donation. He did several appearances at organ recipient groups. My friend's little sister was a recipient of an organ at a very young age. At one of these get togethers, they met Larry. It think they were either young teens or tweens at the time and Larry decided to show these 2 young girls his scar from his surgery. My friend was completely mortified. She would say she saw parts of Larry Hagman she never wanted to see. Looking back it's pretty funny.
I when I was in Sweden, I ate Filmjölk. It was nothing but sour milk just like plain yogurt. You poured it in a bowl put cornflakes and sugar on it. It was very good.
My Grandpa was still alive when Dallas hit the airwaves in 1979. He was very religious due to his experiences during the Depression and throughout his life, and he wouldn't watch it because of the flagrant immorality of all the bedhopping and affairs that the characters had. My Grandmother, however, loved the show and watched it every week. I really got into it as well because hey, we're Texans and the whole oilfield and cattle thing was close to our lives (I'm sitting on my ranch looking out the window at an oil drilling rig a mile away across the valley as I type this) and I thought it was pretty cool the way JR always outwitted his opponents, set them up, and used their own proclivities against them... In fact I was SO into the show that my nickname in high school given to me by my ag teachers was "Ol' J. R." (my first and last initials). I miss the 80's... it was a great time in America... not like now... Later! OL J R :)
Thanks guys, this is one of the best episodes so far. All of them are good, and I am always looking forward to the next episode. No doubt AUS is the best UA-cam has to offer. Thank you.
Funny. My older sister came home and started laughing. I was parked in front of the TV watching Sea Hunt. I was five or six years old. My super cool Dad took us both to scuba lessons. So I was there on the floor with my tank strapped on and my mask and fins
When I was young I saw a Larry Hagerman interview and I can't remember exact quote but they said what does it feel like playing the Bad Guy the Heavy on Dallas as JR, and he said no problem even Peter Pan had a knife.☺
Hey Mark, it sounds like your friend was a genuine treasure. I always liked the guy's acting and now every time I get to see one of his reruns I'll enjoy them all the more. Thanks for sharing. I especially enjoyed hearing about his wife and how much he loved her. My grandparents were married 55 years until Grandpa's death from cancer on their anniversary. He had one of my aunts give her a bouquet of roses with one yellow rose in the middle. It was something they used to do that no one had noticed until that day. Well ever after that day someone in the family would give Grandma a bouquet of roses, one yellow on their anniversary. It's the little details that make the sweetest memories.
32 minutes into it. And, really happy. I hope I don’t get let down later. It’s been a long time since I thought of Larry Hagman. Years ago I had been told some not so admirable things. But, to me he’s always.
WOW .. Mark ,, brilliant story. Thank You .. brought my whole life back to mind. You obviously have a big heart and I appreciated so much you sharing your personal relationship with Larry. Touching beyond explanation !!! 😍😘 EPIC !!!
Back in the 90s we all played trivia pursuit regularly and his mother Mary Martin along Fatty Arbuckle are two names that were the answer to several questions ... learned quite a bit from that damn game
Larry Hagman was doing a remake of "Dallas" at the time of his death... sort of "Dallas: The Next Generation". They got Patrick Duffy to reprise his role as Bobby, and recruited Brenda Strong as Bobby's new wife. It was mainly supposed to be a show about Bobby and J.R.'s kids vying for control of Ewing Oil, sort of taking up where Bobby and J.R. had left off when the series ended (well, where the TV movies ended since they did crank out 1 or 2 after the series ended IIRC). BUT as it ended up the show mainly ended up focusing on Bobby and JR since they were the main draw of the series. They ended up in some improbable situations with the cartels and drugs and stuff and they even brought back Cliff Barnes whom JR set up one last time, since he "knew he was dying", mirroring Larry Hagman's own health decline in the show, because he knew he couldn't keep doing the show anyway. He died shortly thereafter. The show finished it's second season IIRC without him and then wasn't picked up again, and that was that. The whole show didn't really work well-- the world had moved on from the "greed is good" mentality of the 1980's which is what made the original show work so well back in the 80's, but even that was petering out by the early 90's which is why the show finally ran down and ended. BUT for awhile during the 80's there was a whole plethora of "lives of the rich and greedy" shows from Dallas, to Falcon Crest, Dynasty, the Dallas spin-off Knots Landing, etc. When I was last at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, I went over and we toured Cape Canaveral Air Force Base (now Space Force Base) and they still had a life-size cutout of Barbara Eden in her "Jeannie" costume with a part of the museum dedicated to the show and it's popularity and impact on the space coast... it was pretty interesting. Lots of photos and stuff. So the show is still part of the culture down there. Similarly if you're in the Dallas area (north of Dallas anyway) you can still visit Southfork Ranch, they have a visitor center and "Miss Ellie's Deli" and some other stuff related to the Dallas TV show... Larry Hagman was one of a kind, and unfortunately, like John Wayne, I think we won't see his kind again...
We put legalizing marijuana on the ballot in Alaska in 1999. I knew Hagman was an advocate of marijuana legalization so we sent a fundraising letter to every Larry Hagman we could find hoping we got a contribution. We got a check for $10 from a Larry Hagman. I wish we had kept the check for it's signature which had to make it worth more than the ten dollars it was made out for.
Mark this truly is a great episode. I admire all those stories. In you telling of the stories I can tell how precious your friendship with Larry was. Thank You for sharing. Great Episode.
Mark- What a wonderful episode. I have long been a fan of Larry Hagman, since I was young. My mom was a huge fan, and I always felt there was a lot of realism in his acting of JR. Thanks so much for sharing. His friendship with you and his contrasting genuine demeanor says a lot about your character. Thanks again for the great story. Luke
I'm from Malaysia and Highland Towers is infamous in my country because of a tragic collapse of a condo building called Highland Towers that killed many and soon to be haunted(so they say)
@@pamelaearl7191 Hughes had a remarkable life, especially his early years. I have a remote connection to him, having helped renovate one of his former homes, which I believe is on Muirfield Rd in Los Angeles. That was 35 years ago.
As an ole boy from brazos county...his only sin was shooting the buzzard. Damn I love you boyz, hope yall are having a great winter somewhere, cause it's 74 degrees + here atm
The picture of Larry and his mum with the Queen Mother was at the Royal Variety Performance at The London Palladium, unfortunately the song that was written specially for him he completely fluffed, blanked just hummed and la la la. His mother was mortified, she was so over the top though she was creepy. The UK loved him and Dallas, we also got the Loyd Bridges series about scuba diving, I loved that as well. My all time favourite was Clint Walker though, such beautiful eyes, I was only 5. Thanks for the show boys, great as always.
Of all the great episodes, this one might be my favorite so far. Maybe because my expectations were lower, but this was Mark at his best. You could tell he was emotionally invested and I am grateful he shared these great stories about a larger than life legend and friend of his. As a child of the eighties, it is hard to describe the popularity of Dallas. When you say everyone knew about this show, you really mean to say everyone.
When I was 13 yrs, my parents 'made-me-wear' designer jeans with "JR's my sugar daddy" on the back right pocket. Learnt a new term. All the moms and teachers thought it was funny. Classmates thought it was cool. Visited Germany just after JR'd been shot. EVERYONE asked us if we knew who shot JR? We were from Houston. Oh the disappointed faces. Thanks Mark. The best episodes are those from your heart. Sounds naff but true.
I never knew how much I wanted to know about Larry Hagman until you told me. 😀
I met Larry Hageman at a bar in Texas. He was a class act.
