I loved watching him as uncle Jed & Barnaby Jones. It was like watching the grandfather I never knew 😢. They say Everyone has a none- biological twin Somewhere, Well Buddy Ebsen was my grandfather's none- bio twin . My grandfather died in 1940 @ 50 years old when my Mother was only 8 years old . 😢 I had always seen pics of my grandpa and when I was old around 4 I recognized Buddy Ebsen on TV on the Beverly Hillbillies in one of the rare occasions he had his hat off, and to my delighted childhood surprise I saw the man in the picture on the wall, I knew as my Grandpa Jackson on tv. I told my Mother that grandpa wasn't in Heaven bcuz he was on TV. Of course that made her cry and I didn't understand why. 😮 but my Grandma, all 9 of thier children, and most of his 30 grandchildren, and even a few great & great great grandchildren over these meny years have been ask why we have a picture of Buddy Ebsen on our wall ,well when we tell them "That's not Buddy Ebsen ,that's Wilmer Jackson our grandfather they look at us like we're lying. I promise we're not .

That Buddy Ebsen took the time to help my husband, long before he became my husband, after he was stung by a stingray off the CA. coast one day. At the time my husband was stung he was in a lot of pain and he went to the nearest home to get some help. Buddy came right out and helped my husband get the area washed off and bandaged up so he could get on his way. That’s the most important roll I remember him playing. Mr.Ebsen could be human and express kindness before anything else. Thank you Mr. Ebsen may you rest in peace.

I met Buddy Ebsen briefly back in the 80s when he came into our retail store when I lived on Catalina Island. He came in to buy a few souvenirs and one of the other sales girls who I will refer to as Betty recognized him immediately and jumped to help him out. When he was paying for the merchandise, he was writing a check. At the time unless you had a drivers License, and a credit card we could not accept personal checks! (He didn’t have a credit card.) “Betty“ told him that she couldn’t accept his check unless he had the proper ID! So I casually just said to her “You know, I don’t think we’re gonna have much problem with this check going through, Betty!” And I turned to Buddy Ebsen and smiled and said, “Do you think so, sir?” He looked at me, with a big grin, and said, “No, I don’t think you will!” I just said, “I didn’t think so! Betty, take the check!” As brief as that interaction was, he was just as you would see him on television, tall, charismatic, and very sweet! And I was so thrilled to have met him! Hope you see this Kiki! Your dad was wonderfully talented, and just a really lovely man!

In the early 1960s when I was a little girl, I used to watch old Shirley Temple movies on television every Sunday afternoon. I’ll never forget the first time I saw Captain January. Of course, Shirley Temple was a big favorite of mine, but the moment that in imprinted indelibly in my mind is when Buddy Ebsen danced with her. He was so long and thin and could make his body move in wonderful ways he most amazing ways. I thought he must be the most wonderful dancer in the world. I’ve seen him dance many times since then. Now that I am getting old, I see that I was right. He was wonderful when he danced. He is still a favorite of mine. He tops my list as the most talented dancer. When he was Jed Clampett, I wanted him to marry my mother. He was a wonder father I am sure. I cried when he died even though I never had the pleasure of knowing him.

He remember he had a colorful cravat around his neck. I understand he definitely had artist talent as a painter and did a painting of the hound dog featured on the Beverly Hillbillies Show. Also that he lived up in Palos Verdes towards the end of his life. I enjoyed the Beverly Hillbillies and Barney Jones but he also was a sidekick of the Davie Crockett Show and quite a horseman too. RIP Buddy. Enjoyed watching him with Shirley Temple on reruns of her films. Definitely a great dancer.

I don't have to look. It was the Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz he had an allergic reaction to the makeup.

In the late 1970s, I waited on Buddy Ebsen at the Crêperie de Touraine in Honolulu.

My grandmother used to tell us that on one particular flight from Pittsburgh to Los Angeles sometime just before 1970, she sat across the aisle from a man whom she thought looked familiar. She asked him if anyone ever told him he looked like Buddy Ebsen. His reply was "Yes, ma'am, that's because I am." The whole cast was on the flight. That was also the first time I ever heard that Irene Ryan wasn't as old as they made her up to be.

My favorite Buddy Ebsen show was Barnaby Jones. He looked like my dad and I thought that was cool! ❤

Thank you KiKi. I always enjoyed your dad as a dancer in older movies and B of course as Jed Clampett in Beverly Hill Billys. I had no idea he was the original ‘Tin Man’. I am almost 77 so I was a kid and then a young adult. Amazing stories and the sad truth that the thing that killed him was the Aluminum make up. Of course in todays times he would have been able to get $ for the makeup causing, in the long run, his death. I enjoyed his dancing very much. I missed when his story along with films of his life. Thank you Buddy. I wish I knew ya!😊

Very few people born after the 1940s would know that Buddy's brush with aluminum toxicity would not have been left under an oxygen tank for two weeks. Instead, he would have spent two weeks "in" an oxygen tent. Oxygen tents were a clear plastic/vinyl enclosure that was tucked into the bed sheets to provide a high-oxygen atmosphere for the patient to breathe.

It's great to know "the secret" was an institutional incident and mistreatment of an entertainer and his perseverance through it, and not a flaw of the entertainer himself. Buddy Ebsen always seemed to come across as earnest and genuine. What an inspiration!

@@FactsVerse I'll tell you one thing. I was born 48. People who were born before 1955 remember that the TV programs and films were family orientated. Leave it to Beaver, Donna Reed, Father knows best. They also showed men in films as wanting to help the society. Shoot out at the OK Coral, Sergeant York, High Noon, The longest Day. Dragnet was about a man who devoted his life to fighting crime. I consider that the TV programs that they have now a are a disaster for a small child to watch. In "One day at a time" it showed being a divorced woman having a life style that's a lot of fun. In "Two and Half Men" they show a drunken womanizer has a really fun life style and they also show that for a man to be married is a disaster. I believe that a certain President's son really enjoyed that show. Also shows like this breed single motherhood. When a female falls into that, it's usually a one way ticket to poverty. In Simpsons and Married with children, they showed dysfunctional families as normal and an amusing way to live. They also show men as boobs such as Seinfeld. In Cheers they popularize going to a bar and drinking.

Nancy Culp who played Miss Hathaway and Buddy Ebsen had a big time falling out. Nancy Culp ran for a seat in the house of representatives and Buddy Ebsen was in a commerical that denunciated Culp. She lost. Later on Ebsen got in touch to tell her how sorry he was that he did that and they made up.

One of my favorite show as a little girl. The Beverly Hillbilly's! Jed Clampett, Granny, Ellie Mae, And of course Jethro.... So many memories! The T V was my constant companion when I was a little girl. Me & brother were always coming home to an empty house. Therefore my family were the famlies on T V.. Father Knows Best, Andy Griffith Show, Gomer Pyle show, Hogan's Heroes, Family Afair, Marcus Welby MD, The Bonanza show with a little Joe....I always remember how Jed was the only one that SOMETIMES could calmed granny down....lol.... You cannot replace the joy as well the feeling the comfort you felt from the tv shows they had back then..... 50'tys 60tys & 70tys ❤ They truly became to be part of your family.......It is soooo sad to me how the standards have become on the T V shows.... I am praying that God Almighty is Healing our America as well as the 7 Mountains that structure our World...Government, Media, Business, Education Arts & Entertainment, Family, Religion.

The favorite memory of Buddy Ebsen was the episode where someone he meets tries to sue him. The courtroom scenes were hilarious as miraculously Jed Clampitt won in court. Priceless sixties comedy. Too bad they threw it all away with what became known as the Country Purge.
