Subject: Merv Adelson producer of Dallas, dies aged 85
Written By: Philip Eno on 09/10/15 at 6:18 am
Merv Adelson, who co-founded Lorimar and produced some of the biggest TV hits of the 1980s including The Waltons, Dallas and Falcon Crest has died at the age of 85.
The son of a grocery store owner, at the age of 22, he opened a 24-hour supermarket in Las Vegas. He moved into property, before founding his production company with his partner Lee Rich in 1968.
The pair had huge success with the family drama The Waltons, which ran for ten seasons. His other successes included Alf, Dallas spin-off Knots Landing and Full House, as well as the Richard Gere movie An Officer and a Gentleman in 1982..
A series of bad investments throughout the 90s forced him to declare bankruptcy in 2003. However, the four-time married Adelson - twice to TV host Barbara Walters - told Variety in 2005: "I'm having more fun now than I've ever had in my entire career."

He can now hang out at that big ranch in the sky, along with Miss Ellie, Jock Ewing, Jack Ewing, Vaughn Leland, Clayton Farlow, and ol' J. R. :)

Can't forget him. His name always came up on the screen at the end of every clog hanger.
