The Beverly Hillbillies ran from 1962 to 1971, starring Irene Ryan, Donna Douglas, Max Baer Jr., and Buddy Ebsen, who was originally cast as the Tin Man for 1939’s The Wizard of Oz. The nine-season show centered around the Clampett family, who get into sudden wealth after their patriarch finds oil on their land.
