VaBeachGuy 12 Posted July 7, 2003 Beverly Hillbillies star dies at 95 reportedly due to complications from pneumonia. Buddy Ebsen was best known as Jed Clampet from 1962 to 1971 and then as Barnaby Jones in the mid 70's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theunicornhunter 2 Posted July 7, 2003 Did you ever see the footage of him dancing as the tin man in Wizard of Oz? He was allergic to the make-up and was replaced in the film but I say the clip once. He was quite the hoofer in his day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 8 Posted July 8, 2003 I believe he began his career as a dancer. There's a great dance scene with him and Shirley Temple in Captain January. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
