MILLENNIUM MOMENT

Theater has always been a passion for Nancy Ebsen, who not only worked as

producing director of the Newport Harbor Actors Theatre but also played

an important role in the development of children’s theater in the area.

She was named the Newport-Mesa Girls Club’s Woman of the Year in 1989 for

her theatrical and charitable endeavors.

Ibsen, the ex-wife of “Beverly Hillbillies” and “Barnaby Jones” actor

Buddy Ebsen, also formed a support group called LADIES (Life After

Divorce Is Eventually Sane) for the ex-wives of celebrities.

* MILLENNIUM MOMENT celebrates the people who have made a major

contribution to the Newport-Mesa community during this century.
