Patrick Duffy, who played Bobby Ewing, the beloved character on the TV show “Dallas,” has gone through many changes over the years.
The Difficult Year
After a challenging year, Patrick seemed to age overnight. Even though “Dallas” ended over 25 years ago, Patrick remains a fan favorite. People still respond warmly whenever they see him, not just because of his looks but also because of his gentle personality.
Recent Appearance
Patrick Duffy, a sex symbol of the 1980s, recently attended a screening of the film “Warning Shot” in Beverly Hills. He was accompanied by Linda Gray, known for her role as Sue Ellen on “Dallas.”
Visible Grief
The pain of losing his wife a year ago is evident on his face. At 69, Patrick looks much older and has lost a lot of weight. Fans were surprised by his appearance, but he greeted them with a smile and signed autographs, showing his charm hasn’t faded.
Long Marriage
Patrick had been married to Carlyn Rosser, a former dancer 10 years his senior, since 1974. They had two children, Padraig Terence and Connor Frederick, and four grandchildren.
Rumors and Reality
Despite rumors about Carlyn’s health, Patrick stayed quiet and stepped out of the spotlight for a while. It was later revealed that Carlyn had passed away unexpectedly in early 2017 and was buried privately.
A few months later, Patrick shared his grief on Twitter, saying, “My heart stopped beating exactly six months ago. She ensured that I continued to breathe because she wanted me to. We’ll spend the rest of our lives together.”
Overcoming Challenges
Patrick expressed his gratitude for the support he received, saying, “I value the kindness and consideration you have shown me.” He had battled and won against skin cancer just four years before this tragedy.
Tragic Past
Patrick also faced a tragic loss in 1986 when his parents, Marie and Terence Duffy, were murdered in their Montana bar. The culprits, Kenneth Miller and Sean Wentz, were sentenced to 180 years in prison.
However, after Wentz admitted to being the gunman, Miller was released the next year.
Despite all these hardships, Patrick Duffy remains resilient and continues to be loved by his fans.
