The wonderful Larry Hagman answered your questions in this Ultimate Dallas exclusive interview.

Our Ultimate Dallas Interviewer asked Mr. Hagman all your fantastic questions sent into UltimateDallas.Com.

 

Ultimate Dallas - Welcome Larry Hagman,   fans who use the Ultimate Dallas site have been sending in their questions.    

Sue_Ellen in Sydney asks How are you doing these days Larry Hagman? Can you believe its 25 years since Dallas was first show?

Larry Hagman - Oh my god, twenty five years? Shows you how little I think about that, my god I didn't know it was 25 years. Well hotdog I'm still here and so is the show.

Danny_James UK - asks Over the past year, if not more, you've been all over the world promoting your book, of which i have a copy, and i think its brill by the way. But my question is having been promoting for so long, how have you enjoyed the whole experience?

Larry Hagman - Well yes so far, I was recently in Germany and they had me do six book signings a day and that was too much so I had them cut it down to about three. It becomes taxing at times but its a lot of fun and you meet a lot of nice people.

Giamma in Italy asks will come to Italy to present your book?

Larry Hagman - I think I will, I'm not sure when.

Jackson in Oslo asks Mr Hagman your book was fantastic but I also wanted to ask if you use the internet much yourself and if you ever heard of us wonderful fans on the Dallas site?

Larry Hagman - I don't use it much, I hardly even know how to get on it. I have just paid an enormous amount of money for a DELL laptop and its a like giving somebody a 747. I can barely get on the internet to get my mail.

Pamela in London asks- Am I correct in thinking you don't think President Bush is doing a very good job? Do you think JR himself would make a good President or how about you Larry Hagman? I would vote for you

Larry Hagman - The war changes for and against. I'm for all of our young men and women who are serving in this conflict, it is not their fault they were sent there. I think JR would make a better President than the one we have now.

Interviewer - What about yourself? Would you make a good President?

Larry Hagman - No I don't have the focus, if I have to I supposed I will but I really don't have the focus for the job.

Interviewer - Well Pamela would vote for you

Larry Hagman - She would like to see me as President? Where is she from?

Interviewer - From London (laughs)

Larry Hagman - Well she won't have the chance to vote for me that's for sure

Interviewer - Maybe you could be Primeminister then

Larry Hagman - Oh god no, I think that guy is so persuasive, Tony Blair, he makes a lot more sense than the guy we have.

Interviewer - Some would say he is just follows President Bush

Larry Hagman - Well maybe that's it, I don't know. But he just seems too smart for that , maybe he knows the situation better than we do. Anyhow we are all committed together so there's not much we can do about it. We have to back our children out there who are killing and being killed.

Ben in Paris - I am only 15 and like Dallas. Why do you think its still so popular ?

Larry Hagman - I honestly don't know, maybe it's a little slice of history, maybe your a history buff.

Luis in Peru asks What do you think of the idea of a new Dallas movie ?

Larry Hagman - Well I haven't been informed much about that, I have heard about it but nobody has approached me about it, I don't think they want the original cast for some reason.

Interviewer - Ultimate Dallas did an interview with David Jacobs a few months ago and he suggested you could play a Senator in this movie.

Larry Hagman - Oh really? Well they would have to pay a lot for a Senator and of course Senators in this country cost a lot too, (laughs), to become one, costs about 30 million dollars. I think I'm worth at least that don't you?

Interviewer - Of course and a lot more (laughs)

R.B asks Who would he like to see play the role of J.R. besides himself........??

Larry Hagman - Well I think they broke the mould when they made me and being humble is one of my great assets.

Jody in Scotland asks On the internet there is a story called Dallas Legacy and JR is meaner than he ever was. What do you think JR would be like today?

Larry Hagman - As usual, benevolent, family loving, good business man.

Jock88 in Detroit asks Do you think some of the decisions made on Dallas were more personal than professional e.g. bringing back Patrick Duffy and reducing the roles of the women. Do you think on reflection some of these decisions hurt the show? I can't help but think Victoria Principal left because her character was totally dumbed down at this time to beef up the character of Bobby.

Larry Hagman - I don't know, I wasn't aware of anything like that. Maybe you are reading more than there is to it. I think she left to make some more money which indeed she has. She she is a multi multi multi millionaire. You know she has her own skin care, exercise and diet books? I think she made hundred million dollars last year and she's been doing that for fifteen years. So that girl is smart, she made that Dallas role into a physical and beautiful icon in this country.

Interviewer - Are you still in contact with Victoria?

Larry Hagman - Well we see each other occasionally, at a Charity banquet or a ball, something like that.
