Though Larry Hagman is best known for his starring roles in two hugely successful - and very different - television series, I Dream of Jeannie and Dallas, his life has been a star act from birth. Born to the theatrical purple as the son of the legendary Mary Martin, Larry Hagman received his first exposure to the heady world of show business through her - as well as experiencing a childhood that was lavish and glamorous and full of problems.

On November 21, 1980, over 350 million people worldwide tuned in to find out: Who shot J.R.? In portraying the scheming, ruthless J.R. in Dallas during its run from 1978 to 1991, Larry Hagman reached a level of fame and recognition that is rare, if not unique. Now the man behind J.R. tells his own story in an autobiography that is at once rowdy and moving, self-searching and scandalous, juicy and a "recovery story" — and often outrageously funny.Though Larry Hagman is best known for his starring roles in two hugely successful television series, I Dream of Jeannie and Dallas, his life has been a star act from birth. Born into the theatrical purple as the son of the legendary Mary Martin, Larry Hagman received his first exposure to the heady world of show business through Broadway's most beloved leading lady. Following a stint in a soap opera, he got his big break with I Dream of Jeannie, and from that came instant fame and celebrity, from which he never looked back. It was as J.R., however, in the phenomenally successful series Dallas (the second longest-running TV drama in history), that Hagman earned his greatest fame. Taking the reader behind the scenes, he shares many stories of ego clashes, off-screen relationships, and flamboyant behavior during his work on that series—and the pain he experienced as drugs and alcohol began to take their toll. The greatest drama in Larry Hagman's life came when he was diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver and entered into a race against time to find a liver donor. Dishy, witty, frank, and unsparing of Larry Hagman himself and of others, Hello Darlin'! is, like its author, destined for international fame—a rare memoir by a show-business celebrity that not only makes us laugh, applaud, and cry, but also leaves us with respect and admiration for a man who can not only tell a good story about others, but reveal something of himself.

Interesting book from Larry Hagman's own words. He talks about his behaviour on the "I dream of Jeannie" set which is vastly different from what Barbara Eden has said in her book.

In this book you get to find out what made Larry Hagman tick.

This is a great read especially since it was written by the man who lived it! Highly recommend this book to anyone who is Larry Hagman or fan of 'Dallas". Very insightful and hard to put down. Hated to see the book end!!

Larry reached into his past and generated a wonderful autobiography. A very detailed account of his life both on and off screen. I highly recommend this book!

Zicelik

Larry was a character who enjoyed a good time. It was fun and interesting to read about the private citizen known to all as "Master" and "JR."

Jeyn

So well written. What an amazing, all rounder talent Larry Hagman was - The book holds you from the moment you pick it up. I believe there are very few books available which is a shame for the younger generation. I am so glad I was fortunate to receive a copy.

With rumors abounding about the casting in the in-the-works big screen adaptation of the hit series "Dallas", I summit that the life of star Larry Hagman is more enticing than any episode of the landmark series.

Hagman, along with co-author Todd Gold, has written a thoroughly fascinating autobiography of a man that is a complex as any ever to be a Hollywood mainstay. Like his birthplace of Texas, Hagman is wide and vast and most intriguing. Telling of his beginnings as the offspring of Broadway legend Mary Martin and his lawyer-father, the actor reveals his many highs and lows in his ascent to the heights of iconic status.
He lets us in on his "experiments" with drugs, his "lean" years as a struggling actor, his marriage to his beloved Maj, his television successes (both "I Dream of Jeannie and "Dallas", as well as the many featured roles in big and small screen films), and his interactions with the famous and not-so-familiar.
With a wry wit and genuine humility, the star comes across as a man at peace with himself and so self-assured that he can alternately and honestly tell of his strengths and shortcomings.
He may have never won an award for his distinctive television characters but to his legion of fans, he is a winner.

Entertaining and lively. I don’t think it was any soul searching journey, but full of good stories I enjoyed.

A delightful and fast reading book about one of the most beloved characters (J.R. Ewing) and the family man Larry Hagman. I hung on every word & enjoyed reading about Larry's accomplishments , determination and all the fun he had during his too short life.
