"Well there was one occasion I pulled this prank on Patrick. We shared this corridor which had these little cubicles which were on wheels and called dressing rooms, they were freezing in the winter and boiling in the Summer. They were maybe 8 by 8 and built in the 1920`s , we all had one of these things. Patricks one was right across from the men's toilet and we used to make jokes about how he got the shaft there. We have this thing called OSHA which is how to make living conditions better for workers and they had issued a writ which said you had to have crappers for disabled people, so they redesigned all the other crappers and they made them so short to make that one room big for the disabled toilet that you'd shut the door and it would hit on your knees. So I always used the disabled and everyone else did too. So I was in there doing my duty and there was a knock on the door and this guy said "who's in there?" and I said "well I am" and he said "well what are you doing?" , I said "well I'm taking care of business in here", he said "well are you disabled?" , I said "well what's it to you?" He said "well I'm disabled and I have to go to the bathroom right away", I said "well I'm sorry your gonna have to wait, I'm you know doing my duty", so he said "listen your in real trouble here" I said "listen fella your gonna have to wait and that's all there is too it" So I finished what I was doing and I opened the door and there he was in a wheelchair. He said "you know your in real trouble you son of a bitch" and I said "well I'm real sorry about that, I had to go and I was using your facility and I'm sorry about it" , he said "what's your name anyhow?" I said " Patrick Duffy now go **** yourself" . Well Patrick got a call from the heads of studio, he got in alot of trouble for that. "

Here's a good story about him from Mark Evanier: My Larry Hagman Story | News From ME

Yep, great story.

Larry Hagman was right. Life is so much more interesting when you can keep other people just a little off-balance. I'm sorry his is over. There may be other stories about him that paint him as another kind of guy but this is my Larry Hagman story and I'm sticking to it.

Some on here still remember him from "I dream of Genie". Not me obviously.....

I have a feeling there was a film then a series, but I only know from seeing repeats.

And that it was the inspiration for Bewitched.

Always quite fancied having one of those Genies myself.............MMmmmmmmmmmm......Ubba Ubba!!

Oh yes.

[shaunbhoy]

and he made it to that ripe old age. The man's a hero

I never did find out who shot him.

To avoid a leak before the vital episode was shown, everybody, including the camera man, shot him.

Sounds like a fun life.

[SimonMac]

50 years of hard drinking & hard drugs - inc. a liver swap - does that to a man.

I'll drink to that!

He did well to make it to 81. RIP Larry H.
