> [@TriPolar](#): > > The question could be rephrased to include Jeannie’s sister from I Dream of Jeannie. How about this: What actor played two roles - siblings - in a 1960s TV sitcom? Barbra Eden played Jeannie and Jeannie’s sister Jeannie II from I Dream of Jeannie. Max Baer played Jethro and his sister Jethrine from Beverly Hillbillies. ---

Also, William Schallert who played Patty’s father and Cathy’s uncle also played his character’s own twin brother on the Patty Duke show. On Bonanza Hoss and Little Joe had some kind of evil twin look-alikes. Gilligan and Ginger encountered look-alikes. The twin thing was all over the place in the 60s. Started before then, continues to this day. ---

> [@Dr.Winston\_OBoogie](#): > > Max Baer played Jethro and his sister Jethrine from Beverly Hillbillies. Jethro’s mother was Cousin Pearl played by Bea Benaderet . She appeared in most of the first season of _Beverly Hillbillies_ including the pilot. The character “went home” when Bea was given a leading role in _Petticoat Junction_. Per the _BH_ [Wiki](https://beverlyhillbillies.fandom.com/wiki/Bea_Benaderet): “She starred as Kate Bradley, owner/operator of the Shady Rest Hotel, who was said to be a cousin of Pearl Bodine.” Pearl never appeared with Kate, though and thus were never on the same sitcom. ---

What scientific unit was named after an animal? The host was looking for “mole”. I said “slug” and did not get points. (yes, I realize that neither were actually “named after” the animal, and the question should’ve been phrased “shares a name with”) ---

Who wrote the song _Born to Run_? Bruce Springsteen (1975) for the album _Born to Run_ and Paul Kennerley (1982) released by Emmylou Harris’ on her album _Cimarron_. Very distinct songs, for sure. ---

> [@Nyvaak](#): > > Goodness! Seems this was a more common theme than I realized. If you include movies, there’s all the various versions of the plot which is most famously in the two films named _The Parent Trap_. You can see a list of all those versions in [Lisa and Lottie - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisa_and_Lottie) . Yes, I’ve mentioned this in other threads. ---

> [@Saint\_Cad](#): > > What company started in Lancaster County, Penn. was named after it’s founder Hershey? Without looking it up, I assume Hershey candies and Hershey Ice Cream. The Hershey candy company, by the way, didn’t start out making chocolates, although that became their major business. ---

You are correct. I thought Hershey chocolate syrup was made by the ice cream company but no, by the other one. ---

The Hershey candy company, by the way, didn’t start out making chocolates, although that became their major business. There’s a Hershey Park amusement park which may be a separate company, too. I don’t know if it was founded by a Hershey, though ---
