No Privacy
The only rule of the home’s owner, Arnold Kirkeby, was that the home’s address was never revealed. Sadly, just before the airing of the show, Kirkeby was killed in a plane crash. His wife still lived in the home, but eventually fans began to realize where the mansion was located. They began showing up outside of the home’s gates, completely ignoring the wishes of the homeowner. Fans couldn’t help themselves; they wanted a peek at the cast members.

Childhood Memories
Paul Henning was the man responsible for this amazing show, and he often pulled from his own childhood to come up with ideas for the show. Originally, the Clampett family came from a place called the Ozarks, which was a town not too far from Indepence, Missouri where Henning grew up. Even the bank that is in the show has the same name as the one that Henning grew up near. There are little tidbits of the man’s life scattered through every season.
