    Larry Hagman of 'Dallas' diagnosed with cancer

    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!"

      I credit Larry Hagman with helping me to quit smoking. He put out a stop-smoking video years ago, which included the mantra: "I'm a puff away from a pack a day." I have been quit, cold turkey, for over 14 years now.
      I wish you the best, Larry, and include my heart-felt thanks for your message of empowerment and focus.

      DALLAS.....That was a show that had you rivoted to your TV I think it was every Friday night. Of course we all wondered what J.R. would pull off next. Now, we are wondering just what roll he will play as the next generation fights it out for the fortune and of course South Fork. Mr. Hagman I hope you defeat this problem as you did your others. You have to .....I mean.....Well....Your J.R. Ewing! Ewing's just don't lose! Best wishes for a full recovery!

      Larry Hagman has given alot of people many hours of entertainment with his I Dream of Jeannie show and Dallas. To all the haters on here that can't seem to say anything good try to practice saying something good every now and then. You might find life is alot better with out a hateful heart and a sour disposition. You know who you are the ones that were weaned on a dill pickle.

      He got a new lease on life with a liver transplant. I bet Mr. Hagman has just enough of JR in him to put up a good fight against his cancer. He has given us decades of great entertainment, Major Nelson and JR, GOOD LUCK !

      There will never be another JR! I couldn't wait for Friday nights and Dallas. I hope this new Dallas will be as good, and I think as long as Larry Hagman is JR and has a major role this will be another Dallas I will be excited see watch every week. Prayers and Gods blessings to you Mr. Hagman!

      JR was the character people loved to hate and we couldn't wait to see what happened next. It takes a great actor to pull something like that off. Get well soon Larry!
