The Importance of Being Ernest: The Life of Actor Jim Varney (Stuff that Vern doesn't even know) ... byHeather Gay. Rating: 4 out of 5 stars. 4/5.

Yet Jim persevered, ultimately winning major movie roles such as Jed Clampett in “The Beverly Hillbillies” and (the voice of) Slinky Dog in the first two “Toy Story” films. The book also explores the genius of the small Nashville advertising agency that created Ernest and how it spread his popularity decades before “going viral” became associated with achieving global stardom....
