Who knew he was such a beauty in his youth? Not me. I think this is the first photo of him I've seen from before his "I Dream of Jeannie" days. It looks like he was doing stage work and various TV episodes at this time. Anyone ever seen of those episodes?

Wasn't Mary like 16 when she had him?

I never would’ve guessed that he had been so good looking, damn!
What was the story with his eyebrows in later years? It was hard to even look at him in the Dallas reboot.

He looks closeted gay. And he was stupid, entitled, and untalented.

I think he had a hard childhood.
The weird thing was he was an absolutely superb slapstick comedian. The only thing that's really good about the old "I Dream of Jeannie" episodes is how funny he is when he takes a pratfall.

Aging process reminds me of William Shatner's and maybe Tony Curtis's, as well.

Hagman was raised by his grandmother. He briefly lived with Mary Martin but hated his abusive stepfather so much he pulled a gun on the man.

His father was not hot. He got his looks from Mary, but the booze and bad toupees took their toll as he aged.

I'd love to see his work on "The Edge of Night"

He was so hot in uniform.

Lived most of his life with enormous resentment towards his mother despite having an enormously successful career. A nepo baby but with talent and charisma. I think at the end they reached some sort of peaceful acceptance.

Isn’t that a still from A-ha’s ‘Take on me’ video?

Going for the James Dean thing, obviously, and this wasn’t his jam. Astronaut military dude and swaggering oilman worked far, far better.

He was super attractive to me in early IDOJ - he had beautiful eyes. The years probably weren't the kindest (found out he was on Dallas, but that show is before my time) to him.

He had to scowl and look angry, disappointed, exasperated all the time in IDOJ. But if he smiled he was handsome.

Yeah, raging alcoholism will do that.

In the early 80s, he was the biggest star on television and negotiated for the highest contract then.

Is there anything more futile than ogling the picture of a person who no longer exists?

R19 - as I read your comment I’m sitting across the subway car from an incredibly stunning young man - about 20 / muscular dancer’s body / george ours face - better than Larry’s above. I have the exact same chance in reality with either of them - so why not ogle beauty wherever you tint it?

r19, what a stupid comment. Should we only ogle photos of Aaron Taylor-Johnson, because we somehow have a better chance with him?

He looks like he knew his way around a casting couch or two.

He was very handsome in The Group and he was wonderful as creepy Harald with an 'a.'.

Friends of mine worked with him on various projects and all said the same thing: he was the meanest son of a bitch that ever lived. Just hated by those around him. Seriously. An awful human being.

I Dream of Jeanie came out before Dallas. How is Dallas "before my time," yet "early IDOJ" seems to be OK.

^ I Dream of Jeannie was before my time, too. Syndicated reruns.
I had a crush on him in Jeannie. I love a man in uniform.

Where did Larry Hagman ever talk about his relationship with his mother? I'm very curious to read about that.

He looks nothing like Mary…who was not a great beauty herself.

Two homely people can have a beautiful child.
And vice-versa.

It came out in interviews and I believe it was in Mary's auto bio. She abbandoned him while starring in musical hits Leaving him with her parents. Though he was one of the seabees in the original London South Pacific. And as noted he hated his stepfather.

In OP’s photo, he looks very much like Armie Hammer.

He was acclaimed for his small role in Fail Safe (1964) with Henry Fonda and Walter Matthau. See it if you can.
