All the Advertising 

Back in the day, advertising wasn’t quite as discreet as it can be now. At the end of every episode of The Beverly Hillbillies, one of the shows sponsors, Kellogg’s Corn Flakes, would have their own jingle to close out the show. The boxes were put into episodes all over the place, too. In addition, the show would also advertise for other companies like Winston cigarettes. This in itself speaks to how much things have changed in the last couple of decades.

Sharon Tate

Sharon Tate was an up-and-coming actress, and she was said to be one of the most beautiful woman to ever grace the screen. She appeared on the show 15 times as a bank teller named Janet Trego, and fans loved her. Of course, Tate is most well-known for being murdered by followers of the Manson cult. She was killed while she was still pregnant. Her husband’s name was Roman Polanski. It was a terrible loss for the show, and for the entire world.
