One day, we might be able to tell our kids and grandkids that we used to go to a place called a shopping mall to purchase things in person. Most of us are familiar with the mall setups: you have your anchor stores such as Macy's, JCPenny, Sears and others, then you have the stores that make up the inner-workings of the mall as well.

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.
