Reading through this morning's TV Guide article about the upcoming Dallas Reunion TV show, both Linda Gray and Larry Hagman relate Texas anecdotes about ladies and handguns.
Linda Gray was in a posh Texas Hotel and sharing the restroom mirror with another woman, ..."whose tiny, beaded bag contained nothing but a lipstick and a Derringer. I said, stupidly, 'Is that a gun?' And she said, 'Yes, this is Texas, Darling.'"
At the same hotel, Hagman had a very different encounter with an elderly woman who took offense at the way J.R. treated Sue Ellen and decided to clout the "rascal" in the head with her bag. "She hit me, boom," Hagman recalls, "and knocked me off my chair. She said, 'Oh, I'm so sorry. Oh, my husband died and left me this pearl-handled .38, and I left it in my bag.' She hit me with a 4-pound revolver, and I saw stars. I really did."
Just thought it was funny.
