Book excerpt: In this candid memoir, the daughter of Larry Hagman (I Dream of Jeannie, Dallas) embarks on a quest to understand her father, including her counterculture upbringing with his Hollywood friends. When you have a very famous father, like mine, everyone thinks they know him. My Dad, Larry Hagman, portrayed the storied, ruthless oilman JR on the TV series Dallas. My father never apologised for anything, even when he was wrong. But in the hours before he died, when I was alone with him in his hospital room, he begged for forgiveness. In his delirium he could not tell me what troubled him but somehow I found the words to comfort him. After he died I was compelled to learn why he felt the need to be forgiven.
