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.

Long nails are not for the weak. Have you ever tried removing contact lenses with 20mm claws? Terrifying. But aside from the fear of poking out my eyeballs, long nail life makes little everyday things difficult, too. Opening soda cans, pressing buttons, changing out trash bags without poking a hole, and even personal hygiene — they all require you to get creative. But by far, the most annoying thing is typing.

It’s actually interesting how desensitized we can become as an audience. The more we watch TikTok content on our small screens, the quicker we forget these are actual human beings who suffer, grieve, and get hurt — much like ourselves. We’re just not used to seeing them as such.
