That's something I picked up as well. When I read a bio (or an obit) that's one thing I always subconsciously make note of. Now admittedly, there are some odious people who remain married for the long haul, but in general, I think it says a lot about a person's character, particularly as you point out, in Hollywood.

Hagman's marriage, ended only in death, outlasted the enviable marriages of George and Gracie Allen, Jimmy and Gloria Stewart and (Princess) Grace Kelly. I had to look it up, but Stiller and Meara were married the same year as Hagman (1954), which is impressive not only for Hollywood, but the general population as well.

Thanks for that info, was not aware. I also find it telling that the “Dallas” actors stayed good friends for so many years afterward. A great show that will always be remembered for “JR”.

(”Jeannie” who?)
