Larry Hagman, who starred in the hit TV series Dallas as the scheming oil baron J R Ewing, has died.
His family said in a statement that the 81-year-old died in a Dallas hospital following complications from his battle with cancer.
He had suffered from liver cancer and cirrhosis of the liver in the 1990s after decades of drinking.
Dallas, which made its premiere on the CBS network in 1978, made Hagman a superstar.
The show quickly became one of the network's top-rated programmes, built an international following and inspired a spin-off, imitators and a revival in 2012.
"Larry was back in his beloved hometown of Dallas, re-enacting the iconic role he loved the most," his family said in a statement. "Larry's family and closest friends had joined him in Dallas for the Thanksgiving holiday."
