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.

People have always told my mom and me that we look alike. When I was younger, I have to admit I didn’t quite see it. Aside from our height (or lack thereof, since we both measure up around five feet tall), our features aren’t really that similar—I have dark brown hair and brown eyes, she has light brown hair and green eyes. I’m curvy, she’s slimmer. As I’ve gotten older, though, the similarities seem to have become more pronounced. And that’s probably due in part to the fact that we love twinning whenever possible.

Aside from the shoes I run in, I’ve had a pretty sneaker-less summer. Between comfy sandals, trending flip-flops, and outfit-elevating ballet flats, I haven’t really needed to slip into a heavy, stuffy sneaker. And I’ve been loving these no-socks moments so much, I kind of forgot how close we are to fall, but Katie Holmes’s outfit just served as my much-needed reminder.

Gov. Ron DeSantis has issued a state of emergency in Northeast Florida and across much of the state as a tropical system appears almost certain to develop. The National Hurricane Center said Friday morning that a tropical wave has a 90% chance of developing into at least a tropical depression over the next seven days. Most models show it moving into the Gulf of Mexico and then coming ashore and crossing the state, possibly moving over Northeast Florida.
