On November 21, 1980, 350 million people around the world tuned
in to CBS television’s popular primetime drama “Dallas” to find out

shot on the season-ending episode the previous March 21, which
now stands as one of television’s most famous cliffhangers. The
plot twist inspired widespread media coverage and left America wondering “Who shot J.R.?” for the next eight months. The
November 21 episode solved the mystery, identifying Kristin
Shepard, J.R.’s wife’s sister and his former mistress, as the
culprit.

during the Civil War. In an interview conducted four years before his death,
Dennis revealed that he invented the character’s disability during his
audition.
