Max Baer Jr., who played Jethro Bodine on “The Beverly Hillbillies,” tells the New York Daily News he’s unhappy with how his father, Max Baer Sr., is portrayed in “Cinderella Man,” the Russell Crowe-starring flick about boxer James J. Braddock.
Baer Jr. says filmmaker Ron Howard didn’t bother consulting him for the movie, which portrays his father (played by Craig Bierko) as a thug and a cheat. Baer Jr. says his father, who killed two men in the ring, wasn’t heartless: He wept over their deaths. And he aided the family of one dead fighter, Frankie Campbell, by helping to put his children through college.
Baer Jr. also said Howard never explained the significance of the Star of David on his father’s trunks. The boxer is a hero to Jews for defeating Adolf Hitler’s favorite fighter, Max Schmeling.
Howard’s rep said the flick “was written from the point of view of the Braddock family. To them, Max Baer was a real threat.”
