Mary Martin students, staff receive surprise visit

After being in town for the unveiling of the Larry Hagman statue at the Doss Heritage and Culture Center on Sunday, Preston Hagman, Heller Halliday, and Heller’s husband, Martin Carrigan, stopped by the elementary school that was named after Heller’s mother.


Heller is the daughter of the former Broadway star Mary Martin who played Peter Pan in the 1954 Broadway production, and Preston is the son of the late Larry Hagman. Larry was best known for his role as J.R. Ewing on the TV show, Dallas.


Preston, Heller, and Carrigan toured the school and visited the fifth grade music class which is presenting a tribute to Mary Martin in November for their fifth grade musical this school year.
