Buddy Ebsen Not many people give up pre-med for tap dancing or get a job in a Broadway musical the first day they arrive in New York City. But Buddy Ebsen's career became one of the most successful and colorful in the entertainment industry. "His mentors were his vaudevillian parents, his inspiration was his sister and dancing partner, Vilma, and among his fans are you and I," says his old friend Bob Hope. Today's swimmers probably know Buddy Ebsen best as the Beverly Hillbillies ' Jed Clampett or TV's detective Barnaby Jones , but few know Buddy to be a former competitive swimmer. | |
