Larry Hagman of 'Dallas' diagnosed with cancer

[n2doc]

NEW YORK (AP) — Larry Hagman has been diagnosed with cancer.
The 80-year-old actor is famous for playing J.R. Ewing on "Dallas." In a statement Friday, he said: "As J.R. I could get away with anything — bribery, blackmail and adultery. But I got caught by cancer."
Hagman declined to specify what kind of cancer he's contracted, but said it's "a very common and treatable form." He plans to continue working on a new reboot of "Dallas" for TNT, which begins production Monday.
The new "Dallas" focuses on the Ewing offspring as they clash over the future of the family dynasty. The original prime-time soap opera aired on CBS from 1978 to 1991. Hagman underwent a liver transplant in the mid-1990s.
Said Hagman: "As we all know, you can't keep J.R. down!"

1. I didn't even know he was still around. I wish him well. My late mother

loved that show. Never watched it myself.

3. I watched it weekly and felt a little stupid liking it so much. Guilty pleasure I guess.

2. That sucks, Larry is a decent soul who donates enough solar to the grid to offset several families

electric bills monthly, in addition to his own needs. I think he covers at least ten households, which gives those struggling people real help.

4. Good thoughts and vibes for him...a very good and liberal man...

Let's hope he beats this, too.

5. I love Hagman... He's already lived 9 lives though given his liver transplant...

afer years of severe alcoholism. I'll wish for him a tenth life, though. he's one of the good guys, J.R. notwithstanding. ;)
Be well, Larry!

doesn't affect his return.

You have to feel for him.He had to put his wife In Nursing home because she has altmeizers.And now he has cancer.Hopefully there Is some treatment he can take.
