The Beverly Hillbillies - "Greetings From the President" - 5:00 pm Thursday, April 2 on WNYW Catchy Comedy

Max Baer Jr. (Actor) .. Jethro Bodine

Born: December 04, 1937

Raymond Bailey (Actor) .. Milburn Drysdale

Born: May 06, 1904
Died: April 15, 1980

Trivia: Born into a poor San Francisco family, Raymond Bailey dropped out of school in the 10th grade to help make ends meet. He took on a variety of short-term jobs before escaping his lot by hopping a freight to New York. He tried in vain to find work as an actor, eventually signing on as a mess boy on a freighter. While docked in Honolulu, Bailey once more gave acting a try, and also sang on a local radio station. In Hollywood from 1932 on, Bailey took any nickel-and-dime job that was remotely connected to show business, but when World War II began, he once more headed out to sea, this time with the Merchant Marine. Only after the war was Bailey able to make a living as a character actor on stage and in TV and films. In 1962, he was cast as covetous bank president Milburn Drysdale on The Beverly Hillbillies, a role that made him a household name and one which he played for nine seasons (ironically, he'd once briefly worked in a bank during his teen years). After the show was cancelled in 1971, Bailey dropped out of sight and became somewhat of a recluse.

Nancy Kulp (Actor) .. Jane Hathaway

Born: August 28, 1921
Died: February 03, 1991

Trivia: The politically incorrect term for the sort of roles played by actress Nancy Kulp is "spinsterish." The daughter of a stockbroker, Kulp served as a WAVE lieutenant during World War II, specializing in electronics. A graduate of Florida State and the University of Miami, she worked as a newspaper and radio reporter before entering television as a continuity editor and news director at Miami's first TV station. Through the auspices of her then-husband, a New York television producer, Kulp began picking up small film and TV acting assignments, usually playing frontierswomen, stern maiden aunts or lovelorn professional girls. Impressed by her gift for comedy, producer Paul Henning cast Kulp in the 1950s TV sitcom Love That Bob as birdwatcher Pamela Livingston. This in turn led to a longer (1962-71) stint on the Henning-produced Beverly Hillbillies, in which Kulp played ultraefficient bank secretary Jane Hathaway. After the cancellation of Hillbillies, Nancy Kulp did a great deal of summer stock and dinner theater, returning to television to re-create "Miss Jane" for a 1981 Beverly Hillbillies reunion special.

Bea Benaderet (Actor) .. Pearl

Pat Mccaffrie (Actor) .. Fred

Born: January 12, 1919

Henry Corden (Actor) .. Charley

Born: January 06, 1920
Died: May 19, 2005
Birthplace: Montréal, Québec, Canada

Trivia: Canadian actor Henry Corden played numerous character roles in U.S. films, on stage and on television. He was typically cast as a comical, avaricious Arab. Corden had a distinctive voice and frequently voiced children's cartoons.
