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.

When it's time to get on with our work, everybody knows the environment is one of the most important elements. Having the right surroundings, and the right context to proceed with one's job is key. We can't just plop down in the middle of a busy intersection and expect to be productive. But, similarly, an empty, silent room might not yield great results either.
