Dallas Star Biographies & Autobiographies

[Luke_Krebbs_Ewing]

Hi everybody, I bought Larry Hagman A Biography by Leon Adams a few weeks back on eBay. It came up in my search for Dallas memorabilia and I just had to order it straight away, it was only about £15 to buy.





I already own Hello Darlin' by the man himself but I'm interested in getting some biographies and autobiographies of the other stars of Dallas. I'm not sure what's available which is why I'm posting this thread. Can some of my friends on here recommend some books they already own for me. Even books about the show itself. Oh and can you tell me which are your favourites and why you enjoyed reading them? Thanks everyone.

I also have the two books you've mentioned, Larry Hagman's autobiography is fascinating isn't it?
I have Linda Gray's autobiography and a biography of her by Mark Bego. I love her autobiography, wish it was a bit more detailed though, as a huge fan of hers i'd love to know more! I've also got Dallas by Laura Van Wormer which I purchased when it originally came out.
I've recently brought Larry Hagman's daughter's book, but havn't managed to muster the courage to read it yet.
I also have the Suzy Kalter one and the one by Barbara Curran.
My favourite ones are obviously Linda's autobiography and the one by Barbara Curran. I've a soft spot for Dallas by Laura Van Wormer as I brought it as a young teen with hard earned pocket money. It's a biography of the characters, not the stars, with loads of pictures. I've always treasured it.

I have this book, I bought it about 30 years ago in a reminder book shop for about 2 or 3 pounds. Maybe I should think about putting it on eBay.

You should keep it unless you really want to sell it.

If it's a first edition you can certainly get quite a bit of money from it if you do put it up on eBay.

Good Luck.

Yes, I have a first edition but I doubt its worth that much, its not exactly the kind of book that would be of interest to collectors.

I would price it at £25/£30.

If it doesn't sell at that price it should go for about £20.

The podium with the 3 best books for me is the following:
1) Dallas by Suzy Kalter (very professional)
2) Dallas by Barbara Curran (interesting puzzle)
3) Dallas by Laura Van Wormer (imaginative)
