I was so sad to hear that our pal Larry Hagman had passed away today.

Hagman’s cause of death was due to complications related to his battle with cancer according to his family.

Linda Gray, who played Hagman’s on-screen wife on “Dallas” was at the actor’s bedside when he died.

“He brought joy to everyone he knew. He was creative, generous, funny, loving and talented, and I will miss him enormously. He was an original and lived life to the fullest,” Gray said in a statement released through her publicist.

Hagman began his acting career in the late 1950s, but it wasn’t until “I Dream of Jeannie” premiered in 1965 that he found himself a star. He played Anthony Nelson, an astronaut who during a mission finds an unusual bottle, and when he opens it, out pops a genie named Jeannie — Barbara Eden.

Through the series’ five-year run, Jeannie found new ways to make Hagman’s life difficult, as she tried to serve her “master.”

It wasn’t until “Dallas” hit the air in 1978, that he again struck a chord with audiences.

The show was originally only supposed to be a five-episode miniseries, but the show caught on so quickly, that it was extended and eventually became a series that would become the highest rated TV show of all time.

In memory of Larry, we offer this little 2 minute video we did with him in 2010.

Yes, Larry… I will go to Burning Man before I die… I promise.

R.I.P.
