‘Dallas’ star Ken Kercheval Dead At Age 83
Sad news to report for fans of the iconic primetime soap, Dallas. Ken Kercheval, who played the thorn in J.R. Ewing’s (Larry Hagman) side, Cliff Barnes, has passed away. The actor was 83 and died at his home in Indiana on Sunday. The cause of death is under wraps. He had been previously open about being a lung cancer survivor after years of smoking.
Kercheval was on Dallas for its entire run on CBS from 1978 to 1991, and returned to the TNT reboot from 2012 to 2014 to reprise his signature role.
On Dallas, Cliff Barnes was always the perennial loser when he went toe to toe with ruthless J.R, but in the final season, Cliff beats J.R at his own game and takes over Ewing Oil. Cliff was also hopelessly in love with Sue Ellen Ewing (Linda Gray) and was the brother to Pam Barnes, played by Victoria Principal.
As for Ken’s first big acting breaks, that came on daytime soap operas when early in his career he appeared on Search for Tomorrow and How to Survive a Marriage.
Later, he appeared on episodic dramas such as Starsky & Hutch, and Crossing Jordan. His final role was in a movie, 2019’s Surviving in L.A. said to be a comedy/drama in which he plays the business manager of a former teen sitcom star who trashed her life through drug abuse and is fresh out of rehab.

George Kennedy, the Oscar-winning star of 1967’s Cool Hand Luke, which also starred Paul Newman has died at age 91, his grandson, Cory Schenkel confirmed.
Kennedy died in his sleep at his Boise, Idaho home early Sunday morning, the day of the Academy Awards. He had been in failing health ever since his wife Joan died a little over a year ago. George had been under hospice care for the past month.
In the soaps, Kennedy is most remembered for his guest stints on The Young and the Restless playing Victor Newman’s despicable father, Albert Miller. Kennedy first played the role in 2003 and then reprised it again in 2010. Victor’s relationship with his father gave Eric Braeden some of the finest material of his career as the complex Victor. Albert had abandoned his family, causing his son to be raised in an orphanage.
CBS original primetime soap Dallas also featured Kennedy as Carter McKay, one of the Ewing families bitter enemies from 1988 to 1991. Geroge also played the role in two follow-up TV movies, 1996’s Dallas: J.R. Returns and 1998’s Dallas: War of the Ewings. In addition, Kennedy appeared in several of the 70’s major disaster films including the original Airport and several sequels, as well as in Earthquake. In the 80’s, he would appear in The Naked Gun franchise of films along with Leslie Nielsen.

She’s fantastic but not nearly fantastic enough to get me to watch this show.
VICTORIA PRINCIPAL, on the other hand …
YOU’RE MISSING OUT!!! Wait a minute no you’re not. You wouldn’t comment if you weren’t watching. You just want to see how many people replied to your post. TRY AGAIN LOVEY!!
Judith Light was great on DALLAS. Can’t wait!
She plays crazy/mean like nobody else could.
She makes her character on Dallas simmer with barely controlled fury; makes me wonder what made her character so mean? I only wish someone like Sue Ellen will make her shake in her designer shoes.
Victoria Principal is NOT needed for this show trust me. I prefer Bobby with Ann….I would rather they reimage Knots Landing than bring back Pamela!
I have not watched I am happy for them but as my mother would say this is not my Dallas. We were down last May to visit Southfork in Dallas it was a lot of fun to hear about the owners of the property etc. I just do not have the feel in my gut like I did way back when. VP get’s a lot of grief but as my Daddy use to say best dam looking woman on the show. Patrick Duffy and her had off the charts chemistry the season that he died was great. Then the Dream happened and well to be honest it went to hell and a hand basket! Lol!
It is Dallas.. why would have to be ”your” whatever that means, Dallas to enjoy an excellent series..
It has me on the edge and ALL the actors are giving us the best of the best in acting..
The story is all connected and moving along into its’ glory..
I think this season is much better than a the ”old days” .. lol
try it you will like it! 🙂
For those of us that watched “Dallas” from 1979 to 1991, no, this is NOT “Dallas.”
This is like an MTV, reality show version of the once great drama.
This version isn’t even 1/10 as amazing as the real “Dallas.”
Simply an expression to be honest I tried it just did not pull me in and not real crazy about the actors that play the roles. Plus my husband and I are nuts for Bates Motel and Blacklist so we have enough TV on Monday night. Glad you are enjoying it SuOOO!
The original ‘Dallas’ was world wide popular and the ‘Who shot J.R. was the most talked about soap plot ever and made news everywhere…the new version will never top the originals greatness but its still a good show!!!
This show doesn’t have to TOP what it was and the original DALLAS didn’t belong to anybody’s MOTHER. This show is MORE than intriguing enough to keep me coming back week after week. Thank goodness TNT had the cajona’s to revamp nighttime soaps in their original no holds barred form. This DALLAS is an instant classic and so is JOSHHENDERSON…COLBY CAN’T SMOULDER LIKE THAT!!!
Just for you Dallas fans in case you do not know Linda Gray/Sue Ellen her leg is used on the poster for the movie The Graduate. Just a little trivia!!!
She just plain scares me. I can see where her granddaughter gets her evil ways. Emma has made John Ross her b***h!!!
Mama Likes. That floored me, lol
oh so agree ! Judith Light deserves an award for that scene !
You are so right !!!!!. People who don’t watch really don’t what they are missing. One of my favorites right now.
This show is fabulous. If you loved Dallas back in the day, you will love this as well. Great show!!!!!!
Watched Dallas. Judith was fabulous. Loved her cool under the “strip search,” and how she re-asserted herself at Ryland, albeit as a bad girl. Competition for any of the characters on the show.
