Charlene Tilton still has fond memories of her former “Dallas” co-star, Larry Hagman.

Hagman, who played one of TV’s most beloved villains in the hit series, passed away in 2012 at age 81 from complications caused by cancer. At the time of his death, he was in Dallas filming an episode of the TNT’s reboot of the original series, which he starred in from 1978 until 1991.

Tilton starred as his troublemaking niece Lucy Ewing.

“Larry was a father figure to me,” the 60-year-old recently told Closer Weekly. “He and his wife, Maj [Axelsson], were two of the most wonderful people. … I think about him a lot because he was so much larger than life. And I know it might sound kind of hocus pocus-y, but I feel his presence.”

Tilton told the magazine she vividly remembers the last time she ever saw her co-star and friend.

“Before he passed away, my last time visiting him, he was sick in his apartment while filming the reboot for TNT,” she recalled. “We sat looking out the window at downtown Dallas, we just fist-bumped for two hours.

“He would giggle and we would say something, then we wouldn’t say anything, and he got such enjoyment out of watching the flickering lights. I thought, ‘Wow, that’s how I want to be.’ Just getting pleasure from the simplest things. It was magical.”

Tilton shared filming “Dallas” alongside Hagman was one of the greatest highlights of her life.

I can't believe she's 60. To me she will always be the schoolgirl who cut her clothes to get a teacher in trouble.

That was one of her best shows. Too bad Dallas didn't know what to do with her as the show continued.

Yes what a weak storyline to pack her off to Atlanta.
