MAX BAER JR. (JETHRO BODINE)

Max Baer Jr. had quite an early retirement when his acting career didn’t turn out quite as planned. In the ‘60s, he was among the cast of The Beverly Hillbillies show till its cancellation in the ‘70s. His effort at directing and producing movies didn’t also go as planned. We sure hope he hasn’t gone bankrupt since then or facing financial issues. He made his acting debut in 1949 with Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

Son of former boxing champ Max Baer Sr., he started working in Warner Bros. He was featured in several TV shows beginning with Maverick and would later rise to fame on his role as Jethro Bodine in the 1962 TV Series The Beverly Hillbillies. During his time in Christian Brothers School, Baer Jr. was a golfer, where he won the golf exhibition twice. He also gained a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Santa Clara University.
