#DackRambo (November 13, 1941 – March 21, 1994) was an American actor, most notable for appearing as Walter Brennan's grandson Jeff in the ABC series #TheGunsofWillSonnett, as #SteveJacobi in the ABC soap opera #AllMyChildren, as cousin #JackEwing on CBS's #Dallas, and as #GrantHarrison. Rambo died in 1994 at the age of 52 of complications from AIDS. Rambo spoke out about the discomfort he felt back in 1985 when he began a two-year stint on Dallas as J.R. Ewing's cousin Jack. Although he says he had been "discreet" about his sexual preferences, he thinks the cast found out anyway and that #LarryHagman in particular ostracized him. Though Dallas insiders say it was "common knowledge" Rambo was gay, they denied he was ever shunned by Hagman. "People say Larry is a nonhomophobic person, and that he may be," says Rambo. "But he's not my kind of person, and I wasn't his, and that was that." Rambo also believed his character's romance with Bobby's girlfriend, #JennaWade (#PriscillaPresley), was shelved so that Presley wouldn't have to do love scenes with him. He was looking forward to working on "Dallas." But Larry with whom he had already worked on "Sword of Justice" -- turned out to be "not a particularly nice person," Rambo recalls. "I didn't like him very much. And I think the feeling was probably very mutual. I didn't really fit into the mold of what he considered male or macho. It was just very clear to me I wasn't going to be part of the family." And he knew it from the first day. "I was on the set with Larry and #PatrickDuffy and #SteveKanaly. They all went to lunch. I was standing right there and nobody said anything about me going to lunch. I thought, 'Gee, this just doesn't feel real good.' That was to me an indication of what it was going to be like from that point on." #whatisrememberedlives #theaidsmemorial #aidsmemorial #neverforget #endaids #lgbthistory
