Max Baer Junior Bio
He is one of those actors who entered the entertainment industry by a combination of circumstances – Max Baer Junior rose to prominence by being in the right place at the right time. He was having lunch with a friend at Warner Brothers, and somebody from the American Broadcasting Companies (ABC) approached him and asked if he would like to act.
He was cast to play his most notable role as Jethro Bodine in the series “The Beverly Hillbillies”, a family comedy-drama about a hillbilly family who after becoming rich through selling their land on which oil had been discovered, moves to Beverly Hills and according to the trailer, ‘shakes up the privileged society with their hayseed way of life’.
If you would like to know more about Max, what this role meant to him, and where he is now, keep on reading.
Early life, family, and education
Maximilian Adalbert ‘Max’ Baer Junior was born in Oakland, California USA, on 4 December 1937, which means that soon, he will celebrate his 85 birthday. He was raised alongside his brother James and his sister Maude by their mother, housewife Mary Ellen Sullivan, and father Max Baer, a boxing champion.
Max Baer was the world heavyweight champion (1934-1935) and was ranked #22 on The Ring magazine’s list of 100 greatest punchers. Their uncle Buddy Baer, was also a boxer, and later he launched his acting career.
We could say that Max Junior followed in his uncle’s steps, although he hadn’t dreamed of becoming an actor. He was also into sports, but played golf, and twice won the junior title at the Sacramento Open golf tournament.
When it comes to his educational background, Max attended Christian Brothers High School in Sacramento, California, and upon matriculating in 1955, enrolled at Santa Clara University from which he graduated in 1958 with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and a minor in philosophy.
Acting career
Max made his acting debut portraying Ticket Taker in the series “Maverick” in 1960. He followed with his recurring role in “Surfside 6” (1960-1961), and was concurrently seen in “Bronco”, “The Roaring 20’s”, and Sugarfoot”, and Max also made appearances in several episodes of the series “Cheyenne”, “Hawaiian Eye”, and “77 Sunset Strip” during the same period.
In the following year, he was cast to play Jethro Bodine, a son of Jed’s cousin, who drove the family to their new home and stayed there to continue his education. Jethro is naïve and a bit of an idiot, so his adventures made viewers laugh.
The series was aired from 1962 until 1971, and Max was seen in 273 episodes – in 2004, he was awarded the TV Land Award-Favorite “Fish Out of Water” which he shares with his co-stars, Donna Douglas, Buddy Ebsen, and Irene Ryan. “The Beverly Hillbillies” had 11 award nominations, including seven for Primetime Emmys, and won three.

Concurrently with his role as Jethro, Max guest-starred in the series’ “Follow the Sun”, “It’s a Man’s World” in 1962, and “Vacation Playhouse” in 1963.
He made his big-screen debut portraying Sergeant Luther Liskell in the 1967 movie “A Time for Killing”, which was based on the novel “The Southern Blade” by Shirley and Nelson Wolford; although the movie had no nominations, the audience loved it.
In 1971, Max was seen as Tanker in the TV movie “The Birdmen” starring Doug McClure, an historic war drama about an American soldier sent to Norway to help escape a scientist working on an atomic bomb for the Germans,.
During 1972 and ‘73, Max had a recurring role in the series “Love, American Style”, followed by his role as Deputy Reed Morgan in the 1974 movie “Macon County Line”.
In the following year, he was cast to play Culver Robinson in “The Wild McCullochs”, and later in the decade he guest-starred in the series “Fantasy Island”, and then was seen in the TV movies “The Asphalt Cowboy” (1980) and “The Circle Family” (1982).
Next, Max appeared in two episodes of the series “Matt Houston” in 1984, and his last role before his retirement was in the series “Murder, She Wrote”, in the episode “Jack and Bill” in 1989, and in “Who Killed J.B. Fletcher” in 1991.
Other credits
Max produced his first movie, entitled “Two for the Money” in 1972. Two years later, he worked as a writer and producer on the movie “Macon County Line”, and then in 1975, he wrote, produced, directed and also starred in “The Wild McCullochs”.
In 1976, he produced and directed “Ode to Billy Joe”, and his last work as a producer was for the 1979 movie “Hometown USA.” Soon afterwards he retired, and went to live in his home at Lake Tahoe, Nevada US.
Love life, wife, and children
During his acting career, Max wasn’t the subject of any rumors or affairs, and he seems to have led a peaceful life with his wife Joanne Kathleen Hill, whom he married in 1966. The couple didn’t have children together, but in 1971 they divorced, but haven’t shared the reason for their separation.
Reportedly, after the divorce, Max dated actress, Victoria Principal, and one of his girlfriends was model Chere Rhodes; in January 2008, she committed suicide in Max’s house in Lake Tahoe where they lived together – allegedly, her suicide note mentioned ‘relationship problems’. At the time of her death, she was 30 years old, and Max was in his 70s.
As of October 2022, it seems that Max is single. He was once married and doesn’t have children.

What is he doing today?
After he retired from acting, Max shared in one of his interviews that his role as Jethro ‘hurt his acting career’. According to him, it was hard to get cast in other projects, since people only saw Jethro in him. He tried to take advantage of it, so he began using this role as a marketing opportunity in the gambling industry.
In 1999, 65 ‘Beverly Hillbillies’ slot machines were installed in 10 casinos in Nevada. Max even bought a former Walmart location in Carson City, Nevada, and planned to build a ‘Beverly Hillbillies’-themed hotel, but due to some conflicts, he sold the property.
In 2007, he bought another parcel in Douglas County, near Carson City, where he planned to build a 40,000-square-foot (3,700 m2) gambling area, named ‘Jethro’s Casino’, however, the project was suspended in 2012.
Max has no social media accounts, and his last interview was back in 2017, so it’s hard to find more information about his life now. What we do know is that he is the only cast member of “The Beverly Hillbillies” still alive.
Net Worth
The drama “Macon County Line” which Max wrote, produced, and starred in, was made for around $100,000, and earned nearly $25 million at the box office. Until 1999, the movie held the record as the highest net-grossing movie.
Thanks to his acting career, and his work as a writer, producer and director, plus his business ventures, Max has earned decent wealth for himself. According to sources, his net worth has been estimated at over $50 million, as of late 2022.

Lindsay Greenbush ,Wiki
One of the favorite television shows in the ‘70s and ‘80s was the family drama “Little House on the Prairie”, starring Michael Landon, Melissa Gilbert and Karen Grassle. The adventures and life of the Ingalls family would be incomplete without Carrie Ingalls, a little girl with a wild imagination.
Lindsay Greenbush played the role of Carrie, a combined (alternating) role that her twin sister, Sidney played with her. From 1974 through 1982, Lindsay and her sister were seen in 182 episodes of the series, which had 42 award nominations, and won 17, including four Primetime Emmys. Lindsay was nominated for the Photoplay Award for Favorite Child Star in 1977.
Early life, family, and education
Born Rachel Lindsay Rene Bush (three minutes before her twin sister) on 25 May 1970, Lindsay is today aged 52. She is a native of Los Angeles, California USA, thus holds American nationality, and comes from a family of Caucasian descent.
Her mother, Carole Kay Bush, is only known as the mother of the famous actresses, and the wife of the exceptional character actor Billy Green Bush, who is probably still known best for his role as Trooper Donner in the 1986 movie “The Hitcher”.
Besides her twin sister, Lindsay has an older brother, Clay, also an actor, whose first movie appearance was in the 1970 movie “Five Easy Pieces” in which his father starred opposite Jack Nicholson. Clay was a baby which Nicholson held him in his arms.
Speaking of Lindsay’s educational background, she attended Santa Monica High School, and upon matriculating in 1988, enrolled at California State Lutheran University, from which she graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Science (Accountancy) in 1992.
Acting career
Lindsay made her acting debut portraying Jill Hayden in the 1973 movie “Sunshine”, a biographical drama about a woman who after she discovers that she’s dying of cancer began recording tapes, to leave something precious for her young daughter. The stars of the movie were Meg Foster, Cristina Raines and Cliff de Young, and although it had no nominations, this drama was well-rated by the audience.
As mentioned, from 1974 through 1982, Lindsey starred as Carrie Ingalls in “Little House on the Prairie”. This long-running drama was loosely based on the series of books “Little House” by Laura Ingalls Wilder, and follows the story of her simple farm upbringing in Plum Creek.
An interesting fact about Lindsey’s and her sister’s role is that in the episode “The Godsister” both girls were featured together playing different characters. Another character was Alyssa, an imaginary sister, whom Carrie believed was real. Her father explained to her that Alyssa was her imagination, and that she made her up out of loneliness.

Concurrently, Lindsay reprised her role as Carrie Ingalls in the 1979 movie “Little House Years”, which was a Thanksgiving clip show about struggling during a family gathering.
On 10 May 1982, Lindsay made her final appearance in the show, and the reason for the absence of her character was explained by the family moving to Iowa. The series was canceled a few months later.
The twin sisters, Lindsey and Sidney were seen in numerous TV commercials for popular brands such as Kentucky Fried Chicken, Doublemint gum, and Mattel Toys.
In 1983, Lindsay made an appearance in an episode of the series “Matt Houston”, a mystery crime-drama, and she portrayed a girl named Butterfly, who was an abuse victim.
This was Lindsey’s last role before she decided to quit acting and continue her high school studies at a public school. She said that it was hard to keep up with the material at school since they were filming every day. Michael Landon, who was also a director of the series, was quite demanding, and Lindsay said that the shooting was rarely fun. Both her sister and she were afraid to make a mistake during the scene.
HAPPY 50th BIRTHDAY to LINDSAY and SIDNEY GREENBUSH!!

What happened to her? Where is Lindsay now?
After she graduated from college, Lindsay worked at a ski resort, in Taos, New Mexico, from 1993 through 1995, and there met a man with whom she has a daughter, Katlynn Danae – to date, the name of this man hasn’t been revealed.
According to her Internet Movie Database (IMDb) profile, Lindsay married Frank Dornan in 2001, whom she met in 1999 after returning to California from New Mexico. They met through a mutual friend, hit it off, and began dating. Although Frank accepted Katlynn as his own daughter, this marriage didn’t last. It is unclear when the two divorced, however, in one of her rare interviews, Lindsay said that she’s raising her daughter as a single mother, which many realized as her way of saying that she’s divorced.
Lindsay established her Twitter account on December 2013, and her fans were happy that they could finally keep track of her life and work. She shared that she’s working as a horse trainer in Simi Valley, California and that she’s remarried.
Second marriage
Back in 1977, a young boy named Daniel ‘Danny’ Sanchez came on the set of the series “Little House on the Prairie” and while Lindsay was resting, he approached her. They talked, and she found out that he lived nearby, but never saw him again, although she wanted.
Daniel and Lindsay met again thirty years later, and it seems that this was fate. The two fell in love, began dating, and married on 5 July 2014, with the wedding ceremony held under the same oak tree where they first met.
As of December 2022, the two are still together, and have a son whose name hasn’t been disclosed.
There are some photos on her Twitter featuring the two of them riding motorcycles, and it seems that they both enjoy this sport. Lindsey once tweeted that her life changed when Daniel re-entered her life. It was on their second wedding anniversary, and among other heart-touching words, Lindsey said that Daniel enriches her soul.
Net worth
According to sources, Lindsay’s salary while she was acting in “Little House on the Prairie” was $23 in residuals, during reruns. Since she withdrew from public life for a long period, there is no info about her income. The average horse trainer in the United States has a salary of around $35,000, but her net worth has been estimated at over $500,000, as of late 2022.
