Very sad to hear the news. I had no idea he was 81 years old. I was never a fan of Dallas; I guess I'll always be one of those people who thinks of him from I Dream of Jeannie, though I admit I had my eye more on Barbara Eden than him.

The transplant he had was his liver back in 1995, after years of heavy drinking.

And remember, he was the son of Mary Martin - the original "Nellie" in South Pacific on Broadway, as well as TV's "Peter Pan" way back when.

"For me, there's only my wife..."

"Sure I cook with wine - sometimes I even add it to the food!"

"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"

"It was a grass harp... And we listened."

"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"

"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."
