MAX BAER JR.

Highest Rated: 56% Macon County Line (1974)

Lowest Rated: 44% Ode to Billy Joe (1976)

Birthday: Dec 4, 1937

Birthplace: Oakland, California, USA

Max Baer Jr. is an American Actor, writer, director and producer who is best
known for playing Jethro Bodine on "The Beverly Hillbillies." His father was the
heavyweight boxer Max Baer Sr. Max Jr. studied drama at the University of
California at Santa Clara and soon after graduation became a bit player at
Warner Brothers. In 1962, he was cast as the dim-witted nephew Jethro on the CBS
situation comedy "The Beverly Hillbillies." The show lasted nine seasons, but
when it was over Baer found himself a victim of typecasting. He battled this by
producing, writing and starring in his own production, 1974's "Macon County
Line," in which he played a murderous Southern sheriff pursuing two brothers.
The low-budget suspense film was a major hit, holding the record for its profits
until 1999. Baer wrote, directed and starred in "The Wild McCullochs" the
following year, a less successful Southern-themed comedy drama. In 1976, he
directed the moderately successful "Ode To Billy Joe," based on the popular song
by Bobbie Gentry. Baer directed the last of his period films in 1979, when he
helmed "Hometown U.S.A," a 1950s youth comedy in the spirit of "American
Graffiti." Baer continued to make occasional television appearances in the 1980s
and 1990s. Baer, who lives in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, has over the years attempted
to build a Beverly Hillbillies-themed casino.
