Barbara Eden and Larry Hagman : I Dream of Jeannie
I met Mr. Hagman and Patrick Duffy up in Shady Cove Oregon once a long time ago. Both of them were so extremely cool. R.I.P. - J.R.
In his later years, Hagman became an advocate for organ transplants and an anti-smoking campaigner. He also was devoted to solar energy, telling the New York Times he had a $750,000 solar panel system at his Ojai estate, and made a commercial in which he portrayed a J.R. Ewing who had forsaken oil for solar power.
