The show followed the Clampett family, a rural hillbilly troupe who were displaced from their home by the government when a rich deposit of oil was found in their very backyard. The family became rich from the oil, and moved to Beverly Hills in an opulent mansion. The hilarious premise was rich with opportunities for crazy scenarios. Audience members roared with laughter as they watched the backwoods family try to get used to a wealthy lifestyle.
Even though the show was mainly focused on comedy, it had a few touching moral stories, as well. While the “country bumpkin” type are typically looked down upon by the wealthier members of society, the show taught many Americans to appreciate the simpler things in life. It taught people that it’s important not to underestimate others just because they don’t have an impressive career or educational background.
Of course, the most important part of the show was the hilarious shenanigans of the characters. Audience members loved to watch the Clampetts clash with their snooty Beverly Hills neighbors, as well as watch the Clampetts bumble around with more riches than the family had ever dreamed of. And naturally, none of these hilarious performances would have been possible without the show’s stellar cast. An ensemble cast requires not only a variety of impressive actors, but actors who have great chemistry with one another. Despite the actor’s very different life experiences, they were all able to get along on set and perform so that audience members could enjoy an evening of uproarious laughter.
The legendary actor Buddy Ebsen certainly drew audiences in with his impressive acting background, but the show featured many other acting gems who weren’t quite as famous as Ebsen at the time.
Sadly, because the show aired so long ago, many of the cast members have been lost to age and illness. In today’s video, we’re going to take a look at the contributions of each member of The Beverly Hillbillies cast, as well as the way each cast member eventually died. Make sure you stick around, because we’re going to reveal the tragic end of legendary actor Buddy Ebsen! We hope you like this video, and don’t forget to subscribe to Facts Verse for more!

I love to watch that show
good afternoon my friend irene used to remind me take she was like my grandma here went i was younger in the 1960's i do something wrong my grandma took the broom after me too
sure it was simple clean and fun
not fan the group of actors were part of imfo and other to set alot of kidnaps of missing helping imfo too with the hippis
Irene Ryan was absolutely incredible. If this show aired today, she definitely would win an Emmy.
Throgh the years, Buddy Ebsen & Max Baer Jr. always did speak with fund memories of Iren Ryan! They were genual, natural & dep feeling good people, and entertainers, several different ways! The Clampet family cast members, they, they were acual true tallented entertainers! Now in the 21st,? What happened to acters&actressess who had human emotion revelings on the silver screen??! Now these days, HaHH?! It's onleviolence! "" These so called super stars can play just ; "" I KILL YOU, YOU KILL ME! = OH YEAH? RENG - E - E H! ! The BHB castmembers were, multy talents . .
Bea Benadaret was originally going to be cast as "Granny" (ultimately she portrayed "Aunt Pearl"-Jethro's mother). However when she saw Irene Ryan's audition-she told Beverly Hillibillies creator Paul Henning--"you just found your Granny!!". The story goes that when Max Baer Jr. (Jethro) came for his audition he was so nervous he couldn't remember his lines. His audition was delayed until later in the day so Irene Ryan took him out to lunch and got him so drunk that when he returned for his audition he was so convincing as Jethro he was hired on the spot
Another true story about Granny (told by Irene Ryan herself in an interview) was that she wasn't going to get the part and they didn't even want her to audition, feeling she was too young to play granny. But as she said, an actress should be versatile enough to play any age if she's good. So she showed up to the audition in full makeup and costume as Granny and her acting was so good she got the part!
It comes on Saturday and Sunday back to back all day I watch it every weekend
@@bufnyfan1 😀❤️😀😀😀
I watched the show religiously with my late granny. May God bless each of the actors. They gave us clean, good humor. I still watch the reruns. ❤
The Beverly Hillbillies was a true classic TV show. Being born in the 1950's I was lucky enough to watch the show when it originally ran.
Im 15 right now and i enjoy the show
YEA I CAUGHT THE SHOW IN 88 89 WHEN CAME BACK OUT .. LOVED IT GRANNY MY FAVORITE
@@davidarmstrong7628 The Beverly Hillbillies ranked among the top 20 most watched programs on on TV for eight of its nine seasons, twice ranking as the number-one series of the year, with 16 episodes that still remain among the 100 most watched TV episodes in American history. You are definitely the minority.
Me too.
Qaqq
There are two shows that had the PERFECT person cast for key roles: 1) The Beverly Hillbillies Max Bear as Jethro and 2) The Munsters Fred Gwynne as Herman. Neither of these shows would have been the same without these choices. Casting genius.
Thanks for watching, Howard!
Except Jim varney
and john astin as gomez and carolyn jones as morticia on the original addams family
nancy culp really did play the key role/to the story/ always that supporting actor makes the whole thing a hit!! like george uttley on newhart, or the neighbor on tool time across the fence, wilson. or mr drucker being the only other sane person on green acres. .. who is the key support on seinfeld,?, none seems so tight can't figure that one out, their all secondary stars !! only show i know w that leveledvabalanced plot work of character development!S! hillbillies was pretty close but there was a time on cam span that made its natural border=context tot he plot otherwise the whole family got equal weight most of the time, but jed was still man of the house! i do agree Max was WAAAY Iconic to the tv kingdom of male actors with prowess !!!!
Granny was a well loved Character due in no small part to how Irene Ryan played that Character. To say it was any one character would have broke the shpw, is just because that Character was your favourite. It was the combination of all the Clampett cast, the show would have been the same without anyone one of them. Right cast and good writers made that show the classic it is today.
Donna Douglas was the celebrity guest at our FFA livestock show in Wichita Falls, Texas around 1962 or so. I was 11 or 12. She walked over to our little group and shook all of our hands. We were completely dumbfounded. I've never seen anyone so breathtakingly beautiful. And every bit as sweet as Ellie Mae.
I'm not surprised to hear that.
Rikki0 I bet it was awkward hearing her speak in her normal voice.😁
@@glenchadwick420 Actually, she stayed in character when talking to us kids. I don't think she wanted to disappoint us. But she would use her normal voice when talking to the directors or teachers part of the time. It was beautiful, too. If you want to hear her normal voice there is an episode of the old Twilight Zone series called "The Eye of the Beholder". She stars in that one.
At age 8 I stood in line for a couple of hours at a rodeo in Omaha, Neb. to get her autograph. When I finally got up to the desk where she was at I couldn't say a word. LOL! She was indeed stunningly beautiful and as sweet as could be. She said "Hello, how are you?". I just stared at her. Fast forward to a year before she passed. I had a friend who lived in Baton Rouge, LA and I used to joke with her that if she ever ran into DD (I knew Miss D lived in Baton Rouge) to please ask for another autographed picture because after 50+ years my original was long gone. My girlfriend laughed that she would ever run into her but lo and behold, at a wake, she ran into her. My girlfriend reluctantly and apologetically asked her for her autograph. Miss D took my friend's info and sent her an autographed photo! She didn't mind my friend asking her for the autograph and was again super sweet. I loved her also because she loved animals.
@Star Ali Mistriel-Kogan [Mendoza ES] God Bless You Too! I miss the simpler less stressful life of back then. I do consider us lucky that we did get to experience those times.
I would have to say that Granny was my favorite on the show. She was so sassy and funny to watch. She always said what was on her mind. RIP to the other cast members.
My Grandma always reminded me of Granny Clampett. Very much the same. She lived to be 102 years old.
@@MuskratOutdoors May She RIP🌹🎈🙏 Amen
Granny was my favorite character too. ❤️
Granny was MY favorite too! Want to hear something funny? I always could picture Granny being married to Grandpa from The Munsters. Because they were both always doctoring and conjuring up spells and mixing up potions! LOL
Together the entire cast made the show a classic show. Nancy Culp was a marvelous actress
One of the saddest deaths I’d have to say is that of Mr. Drysdale. I never realized he suffered from Alzheimer’s and basically died a lonely recluse. So sad 😞
My dad died from the same thing.
@@thomaslucas6079 Sorry for your loss.
I'd have to say Grannyand Ellie-May were my favorites
@Chris. I also didn't know this and found that sad, poor guy. God bless him he stayed in touch with one person though. :(
Alzheimer disease is a very cruel disease. It goes at a different pace for everyone. Imagine the terror of realizing that you are lost in your own home surrounded by strangers who keep telling you that they are your son or daughter.
I’d rather watch reruns of the Beverly Hillbillies then any of the new shows today. Raymond Bailey as Drysdale is one of the funniest characters ever
Barney Miller and Gomer Pyle USMC come on late night. I record them so I can watch them in the morning. I would just love to see WKRP in Cincinnati, I loved the big turkey giveaway!!
He was as funny as a diabetic coma. A combination of Hitler and Shylock-- and that is supposed to appeal to the audience? They watched because they were told they were supposed to.
@@dougmontgomery1868 Angry much?
I am not angry much. But the type of character Milburn Drysdale was certainly made me angry. The type I would certainly like to run into--when he is walking and I am driving.
Who told them and who is them.
The Beverly Hillbillies was one of the best shows ever made! I grew up in the 60’s watching it. My whole family wouldn’t miss an episode. Granny has always been my favorite! 😁❤️
Thanks for watching!
Buddy Ebsen was my favorite. I always loved watching him and felt that he had a beautiful and kind spirit. But that granny was adorable.
I am sadden about the all of the ones that passed and how it happened.
I still watch the Beverley Hillbillies EVERY DAY..
Feel bless to be able see how something different then sit coms today and how they stoop so low to create laughter.
The show had excellent writers and the perfect cast. This back when there was still talented writers in Hollywood. RIP to all the cast members who are no longer with us.
DASH RIPROCK ! BWAA HAA HAAA !
At that time you didn't have to swear to be funny
Donna Douglas worked at Dog Patch USA playing Ellie Mae. She sang and signed autograph. Max Baer Jr's was the boxing heavyweight champ of the world
There's plenty of talent out there today. It's ignorant to say all talents died in your bumbling era.
The Beverly Hillbillies was one of my favorite shows when I was growing up. My mother said that she remembered Buddy Ebsen as a Song and Dance man.
I watched the show start to finish and even the movie. I enjoyed every aspect of the humor and dedication each Star brought to the show. So sad to see shows like this practically disappear from television.
@Thomas Steel mom
Hello Williams how are you doing
They managed to avoid caricaturing their roles.
I loved them all... especially Granny. She was a great actress. They all are truly missed but thank goodness we have reruns so they can live out their roles for ever. God bless them all.
I always wondered if granny was freaky in the bedroom 🤔🤔
You know they were Southerners they hated black people, they were racist too...they loved General Lee
Dead, too, I think they all are now.
It was a sad day in hogville TENN when the worm sisters BEULAH AND Myrtle BOTH HAD won the annual gas passing [ farting ] contest for 10 years straight, But this time a very bad accident happen when BEULA RAISED HER LEG AND LET THE MONSTER FART LOOSE which was heard 30 miles away,
It smelled so bad it killed 3 chickens and caused a mule to go blind but sadly BEULA ASS EXPLOYED CAUSING THE CROWD TO RUN AND HIDE ALSO BEULA WAS BURIED BESIDE HER SO-CALLED SHACK JOB, CRAZY
@@kingtysonanderson of course she was♿🍑🪒👙💅♂️♀️❗🍭🍱🌭🎱⚾🍆🥎🎪🎉🎇🌋🤤🤫
They weren't displaced by the government they sold the land to the oil company?
I know right!! You would think he'd at least watch the 1st episode to get the facts straight!!! SMDH 🤦🏽
Also, Mrs Margaret Drysdale, hilariously snobby character was well played by actress Harriet E MacGibbon,passed in February of 1987.Granny,played by actress, Irene Ryan, had to be everyone's favorite for her endless energy and non stop comedy sketches.
Granny was my favorite, she was so cute and energetic. I still watch reruns of the show and enjoy them
G
!
I agree!!!!
I liked Mrs Driesdale and Miss Hathaway.
Granny made the show. She was a little spitfire. I always liked when she would get hopping mad with Mrs. Drysdale.
Granny was my favorite also! I did like Jethro and Jed with their funny lines. My favorite was when they asked Jethro why there was no snow and ice in California and he answered - Don't ask me, I didn't take it. lol
I wish they were all still alive and still playing those roles. I guess that's what makes a great actor, they make you fall in love with their characters.
I always watched The Hillbillies growing up. Fun show! All were great actors!
Such an underrated show. It never received the accolades it truly deserved. Perfect cast, hilarious comedy.
Thanks for watching!
I met Ms Douglas when she came to my school in north Louisiana. She read her book to the kids. She was a sweet, kind lady.
LOL. I had to read that TWICE to figure out who you were talking about. You said "I met Ms. Douglas" and I was gonna reply how did Lisa DOUGLAS get into this
What a lovely memory! You're very lucky to have met "Elly May Clampett"! 👍😂
I loved them all and can't pick which one is my favorite! The show would not have been the same without any one of them!
Jethrow was my favorite.
As a school kid in the UK, nothing stood in my way when it came to watching TBH, and my mates were just the same. We would drive the teachers mad doing impressions of the characters. Great memories, a truly ground breaking show
I love that
Part of the golden era of cable tv. It will always bring me fond memories.
Thanks for watching!
EVEN TODAY THEY ALL ARE TRULY MISSED THEY WERE LEGENDS !!!!!!
You know them personally?
@@clayjohnson5812 I MET TWO OF THEM THEY WERE DOWN TO EARTH WITH GREAT WONDERFUL PERSONALITY
@@clayjohnson5812 sure one was a heavy weight fighter
I remember when there were talking to Buddy Ebsen one time, it was about the show. He was whittling a stick sitting on a bench, at his home. In the interview, it was asked by the person who was doing the interview with Buddy, and they asked him, what did he miss the most about the show. folkes' let me tell you something, this man has tears in his eyes and you could hear it in his voice. His exact words was He missed Granny!! As long as I live, I'll never forget that moment. It actually brought tears to my eyes because of it. Alot of people also don't know that he was the first to play the Tin Man, in The Wizard of Oz. But' because of him having a Allergic reaction from the paint they applied on him, which just about killed Buddy, the part was given to someone else.
I knew that Buddy was the first to play the Tin Man in The Wizard of Oz, it would have been interesting to see how the film would have been, had he played the role.
@@sharonholmes6083 I know right!! And I'm impressed with the fact that you know he was the first TinMan. Not many people know this. And I mean it as a compliment
20+ years ago we had acreage in AZ and every year for my daughter's birthday, I would get her an animal. First year dog, next year goat, next year chickens, etc. We had all kinds of animals. We started calling her ELI MAY :-) THE ENTIRE CAST WAS MY FAVORITE. They were all hilarious and good people. THANK YOU @Facts Verse
We are and were blessed to have witnessed the collaboration of cast members ,mainly the 6, love them all , they brought enjoyment of living! God bless them all, sincerely
Granny was my favorite. A very generous lady and caring. Will all ways love her and wish I could have met her. God bless her.
This show was one of many that I watched as a kid. The BH's was THE funniest. A show that had a great and talented cast that brought a lot of laughter in times of great tumult. Jethro, was my favorite. He always succeeded at trying to make things around him better, no matter what the task was. His father, Max Baer Sr was a heavyweight boxer. Great show! Five star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!!!
When Granny and Jethro were in the same scene I always laughed those two were the funniest.
_When Granny and Jethro were in the same scene I always laughed those two were the funniest._
Yeah, whenever they got together, you just knew Jethro was going to get in trouble. 😂😂😂😂
I enjoyed watching this show as a kid ,never missed a show.Granny was my favorite character,she was so funny ,also reminded me of my grandma, she looked like her. I still enjoy watching reruns on Utube.☺
Even though the show ended shortly before I was born I remember watching it growing up as a child very funny. I don’t have one particular favorite when all of them are funny to me. They blend it together
My favorite show when I was growing up. Couldn't imagine anyone else playing their roles.
I'm 55 and I still watch reruns
And there were those great characters who popped up on a regular basis like Pearl Bodine (Bea Benaderet) and Elverna Bradshaw. Not sure if I got that last name right but she and Granny never liked one another.
Like most great shows, it wasn’t just one main character that shined. Each character played their part perfectly. Can’t imagine anyone else doing a better job. May they all RIP, it was great entertainment and I probably watched every episode multiple times.
Thanks for watching!
We all loved that show! My Mom and Dad, my little sister and myself would all sit down in front of the TV and watch the antics of the Clampet family and laugh out loud. together! Good times! Was so sad to hear the passing of such funny and talented people! May they all R I P! We miss you all! Love the re runs!
Max Baer Jr lives in Stateline Nevada in the Lake Tahoe area. I see him every once in a while ether at the Zephyr Cove Post Office or the Safeway grocery store in the same shopping area. He is always friendly and I get a kick that his vanity shows as he still has jet black hair/mustache and is much older than my 74 years.
I wood love to talk to him about granny
Thx for the info! It’s good to know he isn’t a recluse in a home somewhere.
Buddy was supposed to be the Tin Man in WOZ, but he had a allergic reaction to the silver paint.
It almost killed him.
Actually, the other one still got sick, tho they changed the makeup a little, buy still cuz I forget how long filming went over n hrs on set were crazy cruel. Theres a few others who famously ended up either not taking or getting the job and in ways better they didn’t. For anyone who hasn’t read about it, it’s interesting to look into it. Like how the cast and crew were all treated. What horrible conditions they had to deal with on set. Judy Garland was greatly affected in a bad way...and even for the time period and ppl were then being in contracts for yrs being ‘owned’ by a specific Film Co or network, the money they were paid was minimal and not worth it. I was shocked at ALL the things I didn’t know. What I read also explained what really was in background, and not the myth of the person hanging themselves caught on camera. Annnyway, wasn’t that long ago I read about it again, and there’s SO MUCH that is really sad it kinda changes how you see the movie at first.Sry.
They must've already done the singing parts because he still did that. Maybe the new guy couldn't sing as well so they did a voice over. I never knew he was in WOZ.
@@stpaulimdog Close….but the only voiceover Ebsen did was when the Tin Man, Lion and Dorthy skip off singing after they found him and oiled him back to life (so to speak.) Jack Haley was a singer in his own right on vaudeville before The Wizard if Oz.
Yes I remember that and I also recently read it somewhere that he had an allergic reaction to the silver paint but I guess the next person didn’t
I noticed a lot of comic angles from the Beverly hillbillies in modern sitcoms. I recently binge watched the first few seasons during a rainy weekend. I couldn't stop watching. It is a great show.
I know Max aer tried to sue CBS (I believe it was approximately 2014) over a "secret deal" with an Iowa restaurant chain, Jethro's BBQ. The lawsuit was with CBS only, not the restaurants themselves. I have no idea how it turned out, but Jethro's BBQ is still thriving. You can even find videos about the restaurants here on RUclips...
A friend lived in Palm Springs, CA, and was a neighbor to Nancy Culp. He rarely saw her but said she was very nice and just liked things quiet
I couldn't be saddened more by the death of any one of the cast members. When I was young my two brothers, two sisters, mom and dad would all sit around the RCA and watch the Beverly Hillbillies. Death eventually comes for us all. As for me, I have lost my parents and eldest sister. I prefer to not think about death, but off all the joy the show brought to myself and my family when we were all together laughing at the antics of each of the cast.
I like to think (and I hope) that I will meet them all again when I pass
@@bufnyfan1 If you've all been good people in THIS life, you will. And by good, I just don't mean good to your own family. I mean good to ALL of God's children here on earth!
I knew Max Baer, Jr. was the only surviving cast member. I was sad when Donna Douglas died, as I share Elly May's love of "critters.". This was one of my favorite shows from my childhood & I still laugh at the reruns, especially Granny & Jed.
Why don't you say what he's up to today if you know him? Course they didn't mention the couple of movies that he did like Macon county Jackson county jail. Also do you know if he ever became a Christian? I know Donna was.
I like when he played role of his sister jesrine.
@@jessieckark4132 It's Jethrine! and I didn't care for her
What do you mean WAS the only surviving cast member? He's still alive!!!!!!
We all gotta go some day...These characters were childhood memories...ESPECIALLY Donna Douglas....
But I loved watching Buddy Epson dance...with Shirley Temple as well as others.
I always wondered what The Wizard Of Oz would have been like with Buddy playing the Tin Man.
Ebsen.
Thanks for the correction....LOL...
Epson is salt...Got it!@@user-ul9bo8nu4w
The Beverly Hillbillies was one of the best TV shows of my younger years. Thanks for this video telling us how they died.
Thanks for watching, Dave!
One of my favorite shows. Lots of laughs and fond memories!😊
Granny was my favorite, she reminded me of my grandmother and my younger sister. They both have traits of Granny, always scheming and slow at some tasks.
I was born in the 1950s and remember this show so well in the 1960s. it was one of the most popular shows on tv and everyone of all ages enjoyed it. My whole family watched it. Great actors and writers.
Thanks for watching!
They were all great actors and actresses. Loved then all. I don't think life would have Been the same without this wonderful comedy!
The Beverly hillbillies was the greatest comedy ever conceived or shown to mankind despite what the critics said. It was enjoyed by America and that's what really counts. I bought the box set.
Where can you get the box set today it used to be available at Walmart?
to this day many of the 30-minute episodes remain the highest-rated shows of all time--an episode called "The Giant Jackrabbit" remains the highest-rated 30-minute show of all time
Loved all these characters since I was a tot, when the show first aired. I miss good, clean humor! Granny was my favorite 💓
Granny's the best.
So, all things must pass. What a piece of history this was and continues to be in the annuals of comedy and TV. Made me really feel my age when I saw this. Rest in Peace those that have gone before us.
That was my favorite show.I love it.When I had a a rough day.I could watch this and find happiness. I was 9 years when it came on.Still wish it was on.
It's on MeTV in the Seattle area.
Good old days 💕...I remember growing up in the 80s as lil girl watching this show with my grandma... good ole times...
The Beverly hillbillies was cast perfectly and wouldn't have been the hit it was without any one of these fantastic actors!
Buddy Ebsen also started his career on stage as a dancer working with his sister. he was also known as Fess Parker's sidekick in the Davy Crockett series.
This was one of my favorite shows! I love this movie! I wish more of this kind of movies would come out in today's world! And more kids would watch them! I loved Granny!
She's to cute! Thanks for sharing!
Buddy Ebsen is also the only original cast member to play in the Beverly Hillbillies movie with Lilly Tomlin, Jim Varney and Dabney Coleman. He reprised his role as Barnaby Jones in the movie working with Lilly Tomlin's Jane Hathaway to find Granny after she was kidnapped by Tyler and his co-conspirator to steal Jed's money.
Do you remember that he was also in Roman Holiday? He was the photographer.
finally gave the VCR to good will last year'--sorrymax

@@pattistilwell7424 very well thank you very much 😁 thank you for asking.
@@daveparrott9530 Nice to meet you here Dave. I'm Patti from California and i'm looking for a new friend Ok.
These are still just as good to watch today. We watched an episode a day before our kids went to school. Good times!
That was a great show I watched it when I was growing up I wish I still made television like that today
When I lived in Long Beach CA in the 80's, Buddy Ebsen had a boat he moored in the harbor there. It was common to see him at Safeway and the local pizza place. He was very nice to any fan who would approach him.
When this first aired on TV in glorious black & white with VHS & UHS it was 1 of my favorites.
My favorite sitcom of all time
I adored this show with all the antics. Miss Hathaway was probably my favorite. Nancy did a guest spot on I Love Lucy as the British maid when Lucy, Ricky, Ethyl and Fred went to England. Also remember, not only did Max play Jethro but he also played Jethrine (the daughter of Jeds cousin Pearl). This show along with many other comedies helped me get through my service to Uncle Sam in the late 60's.
The show had truly brilliant social comedy. Nothing like it on TV today.
Donna Douglass was my favorite because of her love for Animals (R.i.P. Ella mae)
Ellie*
Donna Douglas used to date Elvis
She was so pretty!
👍
@@jeffbrown6533 She had the hottest body out of all the hotties of that era.
I love them all on the show as a child and teen and then again in reruns as a young adult !
Bea Benaderet, who played Cousin Pearl Bodine, and also was the voice of Betty Rubble on The Flintstones and played Kate Bradley on Green Acres and Petticoat Junction, passed away from lung cancer in 1968. She was in 23 episodes of The Beverly Hillbillies.
Thanks for watching, John!
My favorite character was Jethro. Some of the funniest episodes were centered around him. Especially the 'Double naught spy' ones. I still laugh at them to this day!
Thanks for watching!
,in those episodes they were then cashing in on the then James bond spy craze.
We lived to watch the Beverly Hillbillies!! They were so funny!!
Programs like those you don*t see anymore, that is when they had a lot of great actors, and some unknown actors who would become famous.
I have grew up watching this show.Not only was it extremely funny it taught us to never make fun or turn our noses up at other people .More of these type of shows are needed today on tv.We would sit around the “ole”black and white tv and watch it as a family.Most night neighbors,and relatives would also drop by and join the fun.
All of Irene Ryan's regular castmates wound up living longer than she did. She died at 70 in late April or early May of '73. Max Baer, Jr. (Jethro) is the only one living. He's 84. Posting 4-26-22.
Every single cast member of The Beverly hillbillies made me laugh, but the deaths of a lot of them make me sad. I wish they would do a remake
they actually did a remake movie but it wasn't that good
Granny was an old rabbit. Sweet little bunny🐰🐰🐰
Remakes hardly ever work. They never seem to capture the magic of the originals. I'm happy with reruns.
But they can't do a remake, they jus can't. All but Jethro is dead.
@@jamesmckillen9035 actually, the studios actually they are ready did a remake it didn't go anywhere and it wasn't very well done! The guy that plays earnest played Jed Clampett.
It came across like it was people trying to imitate the other actors the way they did their original characters and the movie bombed.
I liked Milburn Drysdale. It was always hilarious when he would pass out and Miss Jane would have to get a pack of 20's to revive him.
Fortunately I grew up watching The Beverly Hillbillies reruns, along with The Munsters, The Adams Family, Gillilan`s Island and Lost in Space as well, among other great TV shows. Nowadays every time I watch an episode of the Beverly Hillbillies, it reminds me of one of my late uncles because Jed Clampet looks exactly like him when he was getting older, by the way in the mid 70´s my uncle when he was forty something worked on the film Luky Lady with Liza Minneli and Burt Reynolds playing a Chicago gangster. Blessings from Sonora, Mexico.
One of my favorite repeated quotes is..."Elly Mae!!!! Fetch my shotgun!!!" You knew it was fixing to hit the fan then!!😂😂😂😂
Memorable indeed, thank you for bringing back memories! What other types of video would you like to see?
When this show, and many others appeared on television, I was quite young and bed time orders came early, but I remember the enjoyment my parents had watching these early sit-coms.
I was the same way
Me and my brothers and sisters were made to go to bed
My mom and dad would sit up and watch the Beverly hillbillies
I could hear them in there laughing and I could smell the popcorn , and I'd listen to the voices of the cast It was years later when I finally put the voices with the faces
For some reason only hearing the voices from my bedroom and not seeing the faces
I imagined uncle Jed
Was Santa Claus.
@@keithclark486 Those were much simpler times, and I think life was more enjoyable.
I love that we are still able to watch these very talented people. I love them all. Watch them every day, they
Make me laugh, feel better. I love channel M E tv, making us able to watch our heroes.👍👍💕😃
Donna Douglas was in one of my favorite twilight zone episodes.
I'm sadder to learn that the only cast member, still alive had his hustle fall through. My parents loved that show. Meaning growing up back in the days of one TV, and one phone in the house, I had to watch it too.
Jethro was my favorite! For someone only with a sixth grade education he was ambitious. Brain surgeon, movie director etc..
not to forget as super spy, naught naught seven. He was hilarious as a big buffoon with a child's brain. Someday Jed need to have a long talk with him but it never came
He was in a great movie Macon County Line
They do not mention this
Jethro mingled with beautiful women as well.
Lol jethro was a jack of all trades and how the banker had to go along with their shenanigans ❤️😇
One of my favorite shows....it was so funny with STRONG character steteotypes. Loved it!
Brilliant tv,brings back happy memories never missed it as a kid, needs a re run in the UK
I used to watch the show ALL the time as a kid. As far as how they died or whatever their ultimate fate; I COULDN’T CARE LESS!
Buddy Ebsen was a neighbor of mine on Balboa Island in 1967. Was very friendly.
A daughter of Buddy married a brother of one of my high school classmates. He was from Anderson, Indiana and had the last name of Abel. I believe the two of them remained married ... unusual for Hollywood relatives.
Max Baer did star in one movie "Macon County Line" after the ending of The Beverly Hillbillies. He played the town's sheriff who's wife was murdered by a drifter. Great movie too.
Donna Douglas was a closely related family member of mine.
I remember when I was a kid, she came over and visited at my uncle Gary's house. I was to young to remember most of that, but I remember when she left, my uncle Gary asked me "do you know who that was?" I said no, and he told me "thats your cousin Debbie. she played Elvis Presleys girlfriend in Frankie and Johnny." Then proceeded to show me the movie for my first time. May she rest in peace. 🙏
Thanks for watching!
This has always been one of my very favorite shows, along with The Andy Griffith Show. And both Jed & Granny were my favorite characters! I have to admit, I love the black & white shows way more than those that were in color. The shows in the beginning were new with fresh ideas which were hilarious! I loved how they thought "Widow Fenwick & her daughter, Cynthy" were poorer than they were! I still double over laughing at that episode as I do with the others 😅
I loved watching Jane Hathaway try to charm Jethro!! And Elly May with her “critters”. Miss them all
So do I. I grew up watching them and this is still one of the best comedy shows ever!
How are you ??
Love them all
@@lindathorpe3299 okay that is nice my friend
If I may ask where are you from
I remember laughing my ass off when granny would say.. the cement pond. 🤣🤣🤣
Buddy Ebsen was the first actor cast to play the Tin Man in the 1939 movie "The Wizard Of Oz" but his body reacted with such a violently allergic reaction to the silver powder they used that he ended up staying in the hospital for a week or two and they ended up replacing him with Jack Haley.
I remember reading and hearing about CBS's notorious "rural purge" when they cancelled this show, _Green Acres_ , and _Petticoat Junction_ as well as a couple of others. They did it again last decade .. a sort of "real women purge" when they either cancelled or "rushed the finales" of several series featuring genuinely strong female characters.
In the pilot episode Mr. Drysdale's secretary was played by a young man, Robert Osborne, who had been in Lucille Ball's Desilu Playhouse acting class. Mr. Osborne went on to be a distinguished Hollywood-based journalist, and the host of TCM, the classic movie cable channel.
Interesting!
Buddy Ebsen
I can't pick whose death saddens me the most because I liked them all. 😭😭😭
We loved all these characters and still watch them today. They were hilarious. Especially granny.she was the glue that kept them all together. Granny was a wild cat.
Us too! Thank you for sharing a part of your life! What other types of videos would you like to see?
I loved The Beverly Hillbillies, what a classic show! So sad that all the cast passed except Max! May they all REST in Eternal Peace!❤💯🙏🙏
