No mention of Buddy Ebsen above, so here goes: originally a dancer on Broadway, appeared in a dozen movies in the 30's dancing away, could have been The Tin Man in "The Wizard of Oz" but became allergic to the makeup, Davy Crockett's sidekick on TV in the 50's, was Audrey Hepburn's husband in "Breakfast at Tiffany's"!!!, Hillbillies in the 60's, Barnaby Jones in the 70's. Quite a resume. Died at the age of 95, must have lead a clean life to live that long.

Interesting sidebar: I knew Donna Douglas. She was born in Pride, LA about a 15 minute drive from my house. I met her in a restaurant in West Feliciana parish. She was one of my regular customers and was always so nice and generous and willing to chit chat. She was a beautiful lady.

WaldoLydeker, It wasn't that he was allergic to the makeup. They used aluminum powder over clown white and in the process of application he inhaled the dust. This caused his lungs to fail and nearly killed him. When he was replaced by Jack Haley they switched to a paste type makeup

For any theater geeks out there: the Irene Ryan award/scholarship is still presented to one lucky individual in college at the yearly ACTF (American College Theater Festival)...
