Donna Douglas, the Louisiana belle known for her role as Elly May Clampett on “The Beverly Hillbillies,” died Friday at age 81.
Family members tell WAFB-TV that the Pride, La., native passed away Friday morning in nearby Zachary, La.
Born in September 1933, Douglas was married at age 16, had a child and later divorced, all before she moved to New York and earned a role in an acclaimed episode of the “Twilight Zone” in 1959, according to the Internet Movie Database.

I enjoyed the silliness of that show.
Not bad looking for an 81 year old.

The 'Beverly Hillbillies' was one of my favorite shows over 50 years ago and she was a big part of it. RIP.

Zachary is maybe a 45-50 minute drive from my city. From what I understand she was very nice off screen and a few people I know have met her, one of them through softball when her son played and the general consensus is that she was always a sweetheart to people she encountered, every bit as good natured as Elly May. RIP.
