Buddy Ebsen

He wasn't a flamer, OP, he was loose-limbed.

Big flamer.

He is great in that clip.

What a long career he had. That he could go from being a 1930s song&dance man to Jed Clampett to Barnaby Jones is pretty impressive.

With Missy...

Fag.

He was originally cast as the Tinman in The Wizard of Oz but had to be replaced when he had a bad reaction to the makeup. Too bad as I always assumed that he would have probably given a more distinct characterization of the Tinman than Jack Haley.

It's always amazing to me how great a dancer Shirley Temple was. Her cutesiness in singing and speaking is almost intolerable, but she was just phenomenal as a dancer even when she was that young.

But if it had been Ebsen, then Liza wouldn’t have had a husband.

R7- They wanted Shirley Temple to play the part of Dorothy in the Wizard Of Oz. Thank goodness she was not available or the deal did not work out. She was FAR too cutesy pie for my taste and that movie would not be the classic it is today without the performance of Judy Garland.

No way Fox was going to lend her out to MGM, r10.

Seeing Buddy Ebsen outside of his Jed Clampett character gives me the creeps.

^ Fear not, Jed Clampett still could hoof it

I wouldn’t trade Jack Haley’s weepy, queeny Tin Man for anyone else.

Wasn’t he supposedly a miserable prick to Nancy Kulp (Miss Jane on Beverly Hillbillies) for her lesbianism?

Some details here, r16.

He sounds particularly petty.

Dinner at Eight Women in Chains

Thanks R17. I always liked her character on the show and thought she seemed like an interesting woman in real life too.

oops

Buddy Ebsen use to suck Jethro's dick out by the CEE-ment pond

That one is from Nancy 😉

Barnaby Jones NEXT on channel 2.

Ebsen can roast in hell for how he treated Nancy Kulp.

Shirl was quite the little hooker ... er hoofer.

OP, many thanks for the fabulous clip. Damn they were both so talented.

Ebsen wrote in his book that he worked on staging the dance number. One day a big limousine rolled up to the door and Temple came in.

She asked to see the number. He showed her the first part which is all he had done so far.

She looked at it and said: "Don't send for me again until it's finished." And she left.....being driven away in the limo.

Temple has been accused of switching the silver paint, deliberately poisoning Ebsen.

How people didn't haul off and slap Shirley Temple's face every single time they saw her perform, I will never understand.

Buddy is rotting in hell.

Jack Haley. Loved him. Jed Clampett always creepy. Even creepier dancing with Shirley.

Shirley reportedly had a genius IQ, and watching her dance, it's readily apparent.

Exceptionally gifted child.
