These Celebrities Fell Off the Radar but They’re Still Breathing and Bingeing

Max Baer Jr. – Born in 1937

Just stepping into Max Baer Jr.’s legacy brings a surprise twist. He skyrocketed to fame as Jethro Bodine on “The Beverly Hillbillies,” earning a Golden Globe nomination and becoming a folk culture icon. After the show, he pivoted behind the camera, writing, directing, and producing cult favorites.

His “Macon County Line” production became the most profitable film per dollar until “Blair Witch.” Max later tried building a Beverly Hillbillies-themed casino and hotel in Nevada, holding licensing rights since 1991, though the project stalled amid legal battles. He remains the last living main cast member.
