those corny Dallas Reunions?
Go spend an afternoon sitting next to
Patrick Duffy… and you’ll have your answer.”
Ken Kercheval –
Actor, smoker, faux oil oligarch.
July 15, 1935 – April 21, 2019.
Aged 83 years.
Most recognized for: On the 80’s TV hit “Dallas,” he played Cliff Barnes and was the only character besides J.R. Ewing to endure throughout the show’s entire run. The two oil adversaries battled each other for 14 seasons… and after cancellation, battled vice-induced health issues. Larry, the heavy drinker, needed a new liver… while Ken, the heavy smoker, had half a lung removed. Short on breath and on long-borrowed time, he finally succumbed to pneumonia in rural Indiana.
