Another Death

Old news.


Today's death was Buddy Ebsen....
 
It would be kind of funny if they struck oil while digging his grave, wouldn't it?
 
Here's a little known fact about Buddy Ebsen- he was originally cast as the Tin Man in The Wizard Of Oz, but had to back out because he had an allergic reaction to the silver paint they used.

Oh, sorry, Mr. Drysdale invested all the money in Enron and Worldcom.
 
This is sad, as there was a family connection there, in a roundabout way.

Buddy was from across the river from where I live now. My Grandfather had stories about how when he lived in the next town over, he and Buddy would play pool together at a local pool hall. Always had good things to say about him. Never forgot where he came from, no matter where he was going.

R.I.P.

Buddy E.

I thought the money was lost in the "Flatt & Scruggs" scandal awhile back. I could be wrong though.
 
First Buddy Holly...then Buddy Rich...then Buddy Hackett...now Buddy Ebsen?

This world is running out of Buddy's.

RIP Mr Ebsen.
 
It wasn't an allergic reaction that lost him the Tin Man role. The makeup was raw aluminum dust, and he ended up inhaling enough to cause pneumonia. The makeup artists changed to aluminum paste for Jack Haley's makeup.
 
"Come listen to a story 'bout a man named Jed,
A poor mountaineer barely kept his family fed.
Then one day he was shootin' at some food,
When up from the ground came-a bubblin' crude.
Oil, that is. Black gold. Texas tea.

"Well, the next thing you know, ol' Jed's a millionaire.
The kinfolk said, Jed, move away from there.
They said, Californee is the place you oughta be,
So they loaded up the truck and they moved to Beverly.
Hills, that is. Swimmin' pools. Movie stars.

The Beverly Hillbillies!
(Banjo solo)."
