LOS ANGELES (AP) -- He played ruthless oil baron J.R. Ewing on "Dallas," but in his own life, Larry Hagman is as green as they come.

On Tuesday, the actor, 75, announced the launch of a campaign directing people how to claim telephone tax refunds and give that money to various environmental causes, including the Solar Electric Light Fund (SELF), which brings renewable solar energy to developing countries.

>>>>snip
Among ongoing lifestyle changes, Hagman converted his farm in Ojai to solar power.

He also owns a Prius, and drives a small electric car near his other home in Santa Monica.

"It looks like a traveling bird cage," he laughed.

6. Hagman's character was also the best thing in "Primary Colors"
(btw, did the guy start pouring Ortho-Grow on his eyebrows when he turned 60? Those suckers are wild-looking!)

5. Hagman has proven very deserving of his second chance...
resulting from his liver transplant. Kudos, Mr. Hagman! Wow, it is hard to believe he is 75...!
