James B. Beam Distilling Co. makes the liquor deal of the decade when it acquires all of National Distillers and Chemicals’ liquor portfolio. Ostensibly, this $545 million deal ($1.5 billion today) was about landing DeKuyper’s Peachtree Schnapps, then the hottest liqueur in America, the second best-selling bar order in the country (after vodka), and the base of such era-trendy cocktails as the Fuzzy Navel and Sex on the Beach.

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).
