Perhaps due to his mother's busy schedule, Hagman rarely visited her.

In 1945 at age 14, while attending boarding school, he began drinking heavily which would lead to serious health problems later in life.

Stage/TV and film actor

Hagman joined the Broadway play in the stage production of Once Around the Block, by William Saroyan, and received excellent reviews. Despite his success, his career was overshadowed by his mother's fame, which was in ascendance due to her starring role in the TV movie, Peter Pan. Hagman joined the cast of Search For Tomorrow, and two years later The Edge of Night, where he played Johnny Collins, before returning to Search For Tomorrow as Ed Gibson, a role that enjoyed a further two year run. In 1964 he made his film debut in Ensign Pulver, which featured a young, unknown,Jack Nicholson. After his role in Ensign Pulver, he traveled with his family to Acapulco, Mexico.

I Dream of Jeannie

After years of guest-starring in many TV roles, and starring in a less successful series the previous year, he hit the jackpot in 1965, by playing Barbara Eden’s TV boyfriend, Maj. Anthony Nelson in the sitcom, I Dream of Jeannie, for NBC. The show had climbed into the Top 10 in its first year and was NBC's answer to both successful 1960s magical comedies, Bewitched and My Favorite Martian. 1965 (MCMLXV) was a common year starting on Friday (the link is to a full 1965 calendar). ...

In its first season, NBC executives decided that the show should not be filmed in color which was prohibitively expensive at the time. However, by the second season in 1966 the show was filmed in color in recognition of the widespread uptake of color televisions by the viewing public. 1966 (MCMLXVI) was a common year starting on Saturday (the link is to a full 1966 calendar). ...

Though Hagman could be difficult to work with, he was nevertheless, fun-loving, charismatic, often playing practical jokes just as he had when he was in high school. He was also a hard worker. No matter how hard the scripts were, he always knew his lines and he would often express dissatisfaction if he felt there was too much repetition in the script's content.

Hagman did not care too much about the money. At one point he wanted to be written out of the show and threatened to leave. Eden, with whom he shared a warm working relationship, wouldn’t allow him to walk away from the set, recognising that it was the chemistry between her and Hagman which made the improbable farce work so well.

After expressing his dissatisfaction at the uneveness of air time given to his role compared to that of the role of Jeannie, writers stepped up Hagman's role so that he appeared in almost every episode. Hagman was also determined to get the producers to deliver more good scripts for the show.

In addition to the pressures of working on a demanding weekly TV series, Hagman's private life was still far from happy. He was in therapy for the entire time the show was in production, using LSD from his psychologist as part of the therapy perhaps as a substitute for alcohol. For other uses, see LSD (disambiguation). ...

Prior to working on Jeannie, Hagman was still craving alcohol and continued having blackouts. By 1970, Jeannie was running out of steam and on the last episode, Hagman’s character finally married Jeannie a fitting conclusion for many viewers' expectations for the main characters. 1970 (MCMLXX) was a common year starting on Thursday (the link is to a full 1970 calendar). ...

Despite having been the co-star and also serving as director of the show, in the years after the series, Hagman deliberately distanced himself from Jeannie, refusing to speak about it until 2001, the year his tell-all book Hello Darlin': Tall (and Absolutely True) Tales About My Life was published, even though he invited former co-star Eden to appear on Dallas.

After Jeannie was cancelled, Hagman had two other short-lived series in the 1970s: Here We Go Again and The Good Life. He made guest appearances on television shows like Love American Style, Medical Center, and McCloud. He also appeared in such television films as Getting Away From It All (1972), Sidekicks (1974), The Return Of The World's Greatest Detective (1976), Intimate Strangers (1977), and Checkered Flag Or Crash (1977). 1970 (MCMLXX) was a common year starting on Thursday (the link is to a full 1970 calendar). ...

Dallas

In late 1977, after years of starring in so many roles, Hagman chose to leave the good guy image behind and took on the starring role in Dallas, which was the first long-running, 1980’s prime-time soap opera to make the big time.

Hagman read the script for the role at his wife’s suggestion, and they concluded it was perfect for him. Another attraction for Hagman was that as a native Texan he did not have to travel that far from his hometown, which gained great exposure and notoriety from the series.

In mid-1978, the producers thought that the series was originally supposed to be about Bobby & Pam, and it wasn’t originally intended to be a ratings bonanza, with producers anticipating having to cancel the show after only five episodes. 1978 (MCMLXXVIII) was a common year starting on Sunday. ...

However, thanks to the strong fan following for Hagman's portrayal of J.R. from Day 1, he was credited as being the star who saved the show being offered a second season, on the strength of excellent first season ratings. His co-star Linda Gray also received a starring role, as JR’s long-suffering wife. Overall, the cast got along very well with Hagman, particularly Duffy, who would often spend weekends with the Hagmans. The chemistry between Hagman and Duffy was convincingly like sibling rivalry which made for exciting onscreen exchanges and equal screen time for Duffy's character, something to which Hagman had no objections.

Seen in over 90 countries, the show was a worldwide success and Hagman became one of the most reliable and supportive network stars. As the star of the show, Hagman drew on many of his youthful experiences of growing up in Texas to bring depth to J.R.'s irascible character. While J.R. played out a complex love/hate relationship with his "Dallas" family, Hagman enjoyed a relaxed and warm relationship with his castmates, often playing practical jokes to lessen the tension caused by tight filming schedules and highly emotionally charged scripts.

By the end of its second season, Dallas was a bonafide hit. Producers were keen to capitalise on J.R.'s love/hate relationship with his TV family, building anticipation to a fever-pitch in a cliff hanger season finale in which J.R. is shot. An event to which the, the producers of The Simpsons paid homage over a decade later in one of their cliffhanger season finale, 'Who Shot Mr. Burns?'. Over 10 years on, the formula still worked, this time to heightened comedic effect. Simpsons redirects here. ... Who Shot Mr. ...

At the beginning of Dallas' third season, audience and actors were guessing “Who Shot J.R.”. During the media build up, Hagman was involved in contract negotiations delaying his return in the third season. Holding out for a higher salary, Hagman did not appear in the first episode of the show, despite all the media and fan frenzy over the fate of J.R.

Producers were faced with a dilemma whether to pay the greatly increased salary or to write J.R. out of the picture. CBS began taping different episodes of Dallas which did not include Hagman.

At the beginning of the third season, writers were told to keep the storylines away from the actors until they really found out who actually shot J.R.; and it took at least three weeks until the culprit was revealed on November 21, 1980, when J.R.’s assailant, his sister-in-law, Kristin Shepard (Mary Crosby) actually did the much anticipated deed!

By near the end of its third season, Hagman’s co-star and TV father (Jim Davis) had been diagnosed with brain cancer in 1981, and despite his condition, he was retained on the show so that he not only died in real-life, but he was also written out of the show, with his character sent off to South America in a plane to work on the oil fields. The following year, Davis’ character died, and the producers couldn’t do a death episode for Davis at the beginning of the fourth season, but had to wait until the following season, where they aired an episode dedicated to Davis' final will and testament and its affect on the Dallas family. Hagman and the rest of the cast attended Davis’ funeral, after the season finale.

The decline in Dallas' was mirrored in Hagman’s private life. He was drinking continuously and this led him to developing cirrhosis of the liver. During the final season of Dallas, he was with former Jeannie star, (Barbara Eden) who played J.R.’s conniving girlfriend. By the end of its thirteenth season in 1991, ratings continued to slip and CBS decided to end Dallas after a remarkable run. Hagman was the only actor to appear in 356 of the 357 episodes total. Due to his actor's popularity, he made 5 guest appearances on Knots Landing, which itself was Dallas's spinoff in the early 1980s.

Hagman’s friendship with Duffy started in 1977, when he met the actor as a youngster at Duffy’s parents’ home. Duffy apparently didn’t realize that there was a connection and was initially puzzled that the veteran actor wanted to look him up when they were already doing a TV show together. Hagman apparently was interested in producing a series featuring him and Duffy exploiting the successful dynamic established early in Dallas. However, midway through Hagman’s career in Dallas, Duffy said of his longtime friend that he actually had corn flakes with his bourbon for breakfast, while on set. Duffy was concerned for Hagman's health and turned down the idea of filming a spin off series at the end of Dallas' long run.
