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.

On a hot summer morning, nothing satisfies like a cold iced coffee, and Dunkin' Donuts has an extensive list of delicious options. Some are made with coffee while others use rich espresso. A few are frozen treats but most are served over ice. In other coffee shops, the exact flavor and ratio of drinks can vary from store to store and even from barista to barista, but Dunkin' is usually very consistent because they use the same method to make the drinks regardless of location. So while there are a handful of states without a Dunkin' Donuts, there are more than 13,000 locations around the world, so most people can enjoy a refreshing morning pick-me-up.
