Patrick Duffy "Dallas"

Patrick Duffy "Dallas" Patrick Duffy became one of television's most recognizable stars as Bobby Ewing on the legendary series Dallas, but the stories behind his remarkable career are every bit as fascinating as what happened on screen. Patrick joins Steve Kmetko for a revealing and deeply personal conversation about the extraordinary success of Dallas, his instant friendship with Larry Hagman, the phenomenon of "Who Shot J.R.?" and the incredible secrecy surrounding Bobby Ewing's famous return from the dead in one of television's most unforgettable shower scenes. He also shares hilarious memories of Hagman, reflects on being at his friend's bedside near the end of his life, and opens up about the devastating murder of his parents and how his Buddhist faith helped him survive unimaginable loss. Patrick also talks about losing his wife of 46 years, unexpectedly finding love again with actress Linda Purl, his seven years starring opposite Suzanne Somers on Step by Step, and why, at 77, he's thinking less about fame and more about leaving something meaningful behind. It's Patrick Duffy as you've rarely heard him, funny, candid, emotional, and very much still here.
