Name: Max Baer, Jr.

Claim To Fame: Played the lovable goof Jethro Bodine on the Beverly Hillbillies from 1962 till 1971.

Who could forget his "Double-naught" spy and his ongoing desire to be a brain surgeon. And for us fans, we will always remember Max"s role as his "sister" in cameos as Jethreen.

Where Is He Now: Went on to be quite succesful, writing producing movies such as 'Macon County Line,' initiated the idea of using popular song titles as a way to produce high profit, low budget films.

In late 2003, Max began developing an empty Wal-Mart building and its property at the south end of Carson City into a Beverly Hillbillies-themed hotel and casino called Jethro's Beverly Hillbillies Mansion & Casino, which has yet to open.

Was in the news recently when he came out swinging to defend his father, now that the late prizefighter's reputation has taken a beating in Ron Howard's "Cinderella Man."

The film, in which Russell Crowe plays Depression-era boxer James J. Braddock, portrays Baer Sr. as a sadistic thug who hits below the belt and boasts about the two boxers he has killed in the ring. Baer Sr. (Craig Bierko) even threatens to make Braddock's wife (Ren�e Zellweger) his lover after he has made her a widow.

"That's a lie," Baer Jr., who played lovable yokel Jethro Bodine on the '60s TV comedy, tells us. "My father cried about what happened to [Baer ring victim] Frankie Campbell. He had nightmares. He helped put Frankie's children through college."
