So Long Elly May Clampett
 

Donna Douglas, 'Beverly Hillbillies' Elly May, dead - CNN.com

Douglas spent nine years as Elly May, one of the main characters of the hugely popular "Beverly Hillbillies." The series concerned a poor Ozark family who stumbled upon an oil fortune and then moved to the Southern California bastion of wealth, where their rural ways often clashed with the local swells -- particularly Margaret Drysdale, the wife of the man who ran the bank where the Clampetts kept their money.

Oh no, heart broken... :(

Her, Ginger, and Mary Ann, the latter two still alive. Heart-throbs of the day. RIP.

Now I know I am getting old.

She was a very attractive gal. RIP.

What other TV star could rock a rope belt. ;)

Mary Ann?

Its good to see that there are topics where we all agree.
See y'all down by the cement pond.

Her shrink to fit shorts didn't need it. ;)

She spent the last years of her life as an active Evangelist. I know a lot of these folks since they are really just another part of show-biz.

I do know one that is the real deal and he always spoke highly of her. The guy I know has the same amount of respect for the hucksters that I do, which is none, and refuses to be seen with them.

But he claimed Douglas was serious about this part of her life. He says he thinks she was an Evangelist first and an actor/real estate saleperson just because she needed to pay the bills.
