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.

Paris Olympics: Bobby Finke Capped Off Individual Swimming Slate By Taking Down 12-Year-Old World Record. Attempting dramatic final-length comebacks was no longer a winning strategy for Bobby Finke. Three years earlier in his first Olympics, Finke had caught fields of European veterans off guard as he sprinted ahead to clinch gold medals in the 800 free and 1500 free, but his younger rivals were ready for the trick. At the 2023 World Championships, Finke went stroke-for-stroke with Tunisia’s Ahmed Hafnaoui in the 1500 free for the entire race, only for Hafnaoui to touch him out by five hundredths at the finish.
