them together we're here because of Hagman yeah that's that's what he meant to the show the glue yeah he kept everybody together everybody happy that everybody engaged and because of his popularity all of our boats rose with the tide you know and we we got the ride with him so yeah we miss him a lot I've got a keychain actually a keychain Larry with a Jester's hat on and he says Don't Worry Be Happy have fun when we first started Larry saw this as an opportunity with his Ensemble if we would all Branch out and take all the Press invitations you could build the show and you could create the popularity and we all we all did that he knew that as a quarterback actually the quarterback for the yeah yeah remember the first day all of us were in that Motel oh we were not in a hotel a motel the Royal Roach The Royal Road cockroaches we're in Larry's room sitting on the floor trying to figure out what the hell we're doing here and who are we and what characters are we yeah and in his bathroom there was a bathtub filled with ice and several bottles of champagne that's how we bonded it and that's why he smelled the way he smelled most of the time because he never took a shower first call in the morning he'd pop a cork on a bottle of champagne and and we'd have a glass of champagne together before we go into the makeup room every morning every morning in the morning every single morning you know and days that he wasn't there with the saddest days of days Larry didn't like to talk on Sundays that was it was a discipline that he employed because he believed actors should have a rest a day of rest yeah boys so Sunny comes in the phone rings well he's not gonna get it if somebody comes to the door he's not going to go up there we would talk to him in sign language go eat a hamburger and play ragged ball and off we would go I'll keep myself nice you had a cocktail or two during your run I did what was in those drinks but you're gonna love this you guys it's water and I remember one scene I had at lunch scene and I said let's have a martini couple of olives come the end of the scene and I just slugged it what it was was room temperature water it tasted like olive juice it was the worst I said no she gave up Martinez we don't do that anymore done I hope you won't be doing any drinking no sir I'd never do that there were also plenty of guest stars that's a then unknown Brad Pitt it was great I had several scenes with him he was a you know a 25 year old playing an 18 year old or something like that and it was very early in his career and I'm sure he's not going to give me

icon I mean that's true icon in any association with Elvis my first scene was dancing with her so I went oh no you didn't sing so I sang the first couple of nights and she giggled and laughed and I went oh thank God listen both Patrick and Larry brought levity on the set of their soapy drama I heard that you were a little bit of a prankster you know Larry and I loved loved play together it
