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.

His early roles tended to be wholesome everymen, but he successfully redefined himself from the '50s onward with darker and more imposing roles in a string of influential Westerns like Winchester '73 and The Naked Spur. He's thus a good example of a star who reinvented himself as the audience's tastes changed, expanding the blueprint for future movie stars to follow.
