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.

My friend Dave Rogers was an artist. When he was in his thirties, he was crossing a street in Washington, D.C., looked down at his hand and had a sudden desire to draw a picture of it. Up until then he had never had any desire to draw or create art. It was a crucial moment of opening in his life: He was coming from his AA sponsor’s apartment where he had been giving away his fourth step—i.e., reading his “fearless and searching moral inventory of himself,” as they say in AA.
