Got to agree Dallas was brilliant you can't beat a bit of ole JR, larry Hagman was brilliant, all the more impressive considering he was drinking between 4 and 5 bottles of champagne a day on the Dallas set. RIP Daniel Pilon remember him in Dallas, would of thought he was older than 77 though, would of put him mid 80's. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
