One of his more memorable performances was as the Russian translator in Failsafe.

I have to 'confess' I watched a lot of I DREAM OF JEANNIE back as a kid. It was the space age and a show about an astronaut was pretty cool! Not to mention it was a fantasy series and his character name was Anthony! Later on, I also started to appreciate Barbara Eden - even if sans belly button!  ;)

Of course, Hagman's biggest role (and the one he was still playing when he passed) was on DALLAS. Not my cup of tea, but, it was nice to see Hagman get a second hit series - something most actors never quite achieve.

Between his two big hit programs, Hagman had a rather fallow period. He directed and had a goofy bit part as a bum in the very low budget sequel to THE BLOB - SON OF BLOB (aka: BEWARE: THE BLOB) [which has never been at the Marathon]. Hagman's only Marathon appearance was a small part in SUPERMAN THE MOVIE as an Army Major (he got the part on DALLAS right afterward).

R.I.P. Major Anthony Nelson.
