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.
