Title: Celebrity Death
Post by: History Buff on April 20, 2020, 07:58:10 PM

Thomas William Lester (Eb on Green Acres) died earlier today of Parkinson's.  Lester was the last surviving regular cast member of the show.  He was 81. 

Green Acres, of course, was the creation of Paul Henning who has important ties to the Branson Area, including a nature preserve in his name.  One of Green Acres' sister shows, The Beverly Hillbillies, filmed a few episodes at Silver Dollar City with some of the citizens of the park.
