Herbie J Pilato

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.

(MA) Get ready to fall in love with the gentlest little dog around. Mary Anne is a young Chihuahua who recently came into Great Dog Rescue New England's care for unspecified reasons. This little lap pup is currently living safely with a foster, but she hopes for not much longer. Not because her foster isn't great, but because she is itching to get her last move out of the way, and settle down with her new family. Also, I have it on good authority that said family could in fact be YOU!
