7. The Banker Had Alzheimer’s

Raymond Bailey played the self-serving banker Mr. Drysdale who managed the Clampetts’ fortune, to much comedic effect. Sadly, the actor began to show signs of Alzeheimer’s disease during his last few years on the set. It’s quite apparent in the last two or three episodes. He had to quit acting altogether and became a recluse until he passed away in 1980 at the age of 75.
