Dallas actress Linda Gray: I still talk to late co-star Larry Hagman
Linda Gray said she often has conversations with Larry Hagman.
Dallas actress Linda Gray has said she believes her late co-star Larry Hagman’s spirit is around her and that she often talks with him.
The star, 76, played glamorous Sue Ellen in the long-running US soap opposite Hagman as her husband JR Ewing.
Gray told Spirit & Destiny magazine: “I talk to Larry all the time.
“I have lots of conversations with him and it makes me happy.
“I don’t care that some people say, ‘Well, that’s absolutely ridiculous’. I think the spirit of a person remains forever.”
The character JR was killed off on the show following Hagman’s death in November 2012.
Gray said: “I remember when we filmed the funeral scene on the reboot of Dallas after Larry had passed on. We were at JR’s graveside.
“So we start and it’s my (Sue Ellen’s) turn to speak and at that minute a plane went right over us, ruining our sound. We had to start all over again and I thought, ‘This isn’t the plan’.
“We start filming again, and couldn’t get the scene done because there was a dog barking. It took about eight times to do it and I was absolutely fried at the end of that day.
