My Take
Larry Hagman is one of those rare actors who turned villainy into something irresistible. As J.R. Ewing on Dallas he made millions love to hate him, yet years earlier he had played the earnest astronaut in I Dream of Jeannie with total sincerity. That range fascinates me. There is something fitting about a Fort Worth, Texas native embodying an oil baron so completely the role fused with the man. What I admire most is his instinct for charisma in cruelty; he understood that a great antagonist must seduce as much as menace. Hollywood gave him a star, and he earned it twice over.
