Taco Bell apparently didn’t get the message that customers are shying away from fast-food chains right now. The Irvine, California-based Mexican chain’s same-store sales rose 5% in the U.S. in the second quarter, parent company Yum Brands said on Tuesday. The performance stood out in a sea of disappointing results from quick-service concepts.

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.
