[Note: Unless otherwise indicated, the commentary and quotes in this article are from the author's interview with those mentioned.]. Elizabeth Montgomery was one of the most popular actors from the 1950s to her unfortunate passing from cancer in 1995. Before, during, and after her benchmark Emmy-nominated role as twitch-witch Samantha Stephens on TV's Bewitched (ABC, 1964-1972), Montgomery made over 200 additional appearances in other weekly shows, TV-movies, and feature films.

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.

First, the Sky and Air Show in Jacksonville Beach and the Bethune Cookman University football game at EverBank Stadium were cut from the City of Jacksonville’s planned events due to budgeting. Now, Jax River Jams is the latest fan-favorite event to leave the “River City” -- at least in the short term. “I enjoyed it, my family enjoyed it, it’s a nice place to bring your kids and relax. I love it,” Jacksonville resident Michael Sheffield said after hearing the news. “I don’t know why they canceled it.” A statement sent to Action News Jax by Alex Alston, executive director for the city of Jacksonville’s sports and entertainment office, explained the reasoning: “The event was not included in this year’s budget for a variety of factors, including but not limited to, the lack of available event space downtown and rising event costs.”
