Herbie J Pilato

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.

Opening in London’s Covent Garden in 2010, the restaurant has expanded all across the U.K., with 10 locations and counting.

There's no shortage of modified Mercedes-Benz G-Wagens, but Poland's Carlex Design has taken a different approach from the typical testosterone-laced fare. First spotted by The Drive, what Carlex calls the G-Vintage is a modern G-Class with a pastel-tinted retro filter. Instead of trying to look like the background vehicles in a low-budget action movie, the Carlex-tuned G-Class features a white roof and whitewall tires, with a color palette that includes options like Lime Pop, Champagne Fizz, and Raspberry Punch.

Gov. Ron DeSantis has issued a state of emergency in Northeast Florida and across much of the state as a tropical system appears almost certain to develop. The National Hurricane Center said Friday morning that a tropical wave has a 90% chance of developing into at least a tropical depression over the next seven days. Most models show it moving into the Gulf of Mexico and then coming ashore and crossing the state, possibly moving over Northeast Florida.

Sometime in the 1980s, the art critic Clement Greenberg walked into a forty-year-old painter’s exhibition in Soho.

Hollywood child stardom has taken its toll on many actors through the decades. Lani O'Grady, for one, found fame in the 1970s on the TV family series, Eight is Enough. O'Grady followed in the footsteps of her brother, actor Don Grady, an original Mouseketeer and member of another popular TV family show: My Three Sons. Their mother, Mary B. Grady, was a talent agent who represented several child actors. But Lani, who would also eventually become an agent, died in 2001 just one week before what would have been her 47th birthday.

Art may not be among the first things that come to mind when you think of State College, Pennsylvania—but perhaps it should. University art museums are a varied lot: Some are among the grandest you can find, while others are strange spare rooms fulfilling a musty pledge to a donor to keep the Dürer etchings on display.
