The son of a boxing heavyweight champion, Baer was two months behind on his rent and living on a diet of milk and not much else when he landed the role of Jethro, as Woman's World reported. The show's huge success came as a surprise to Baer.
Unfortunately, after The Beverly Hillbillies ended in 1971, Baer found it difficult to get work, noting later that he was "pigeonholed as Jethro" and was offered mostly similar parts. That's when he made what would end up being a very financially wise decision, shifting his focus to producing, writing and directing.
Later, Baer went after the rights to Madonna's hit "Like a Virgin," but ABC tried to prevent him from making the film. Baer sued and won a judgment of over $2 million in the process, as the Los Angeles Times reported.
“We Baers never wound up exactly the way we hoped we would," Baer said in 1963.
