So sad to hear of Ken Kercheval's passing -- and yes, it really is true (apparently)

Accusations of fake news have abounded this week in regards to Ken Kercheval, our dear Cliff Barnes of "Dallas." It was reported the 83-year-old actor had died, then it was asserted that this wasn't true on his own official Facebook page. But alas, we seem to have really lost the talented actor who portrayed J.R. Ewing's nemesis, though we thankfully had him for quite a few more years than lung cancer typically allows.
