The revival of prime time TV soap opera “Dallas” brings to mind a local oilman, the late Danny Biggs.He was nothing like the fictional oilman J.R. Ewing, played by Larry Hagman from 1979-1991, and back for the 2012 sequel. J.R. was a larger than life TV villain we loved to hate; the Ewings were rich Texans who made their fortune in cattle and oil with shady backstabbing deals. “It’s nothing like ‘Dallas!’” Biggs used to say of the oil business.
It's not Dallas
Soap opera gives wrong image of oil business
