(How could they not have played in some combination, at least a few times, in the intervening decades?) But...

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.

Meghan Markle's venture into the lifestyle space has not been met with universal acclaim, particularly from one well-known figure: Martha Stewart. Earlier this year, in March, Meghan unveiled her new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard. The brand immediately drew comparisons to other celebrity wellness empires, particularly that of culinary icon Martha Stewart. However, these comparisons have reportedly struck a nerve with Stewart, who finds them both "irritating and insulting."

Burnout is never fun. Whether it's feeling unmotivated to do anything but sit in your room and down a bag of chips while watching your favorite comfort show or simply letting other responsibilities like classes, work, or friendships slip, it's never great. Burnout is something that most theater students experience merely because most of us are trying to seize the time we have in educational institutions or worry we might not have this freedom to experiment again. Here are just a few ways I manage these feelings of burnout.
