January 2, 201511 yr Member There was some confusion as to whether this was a hoax or not but it's been apparently confirmed by family members.http://www.wafb.com/story/27748304/donna-douglas-aka-elly-may-clampett-passes-away-at-age-81http://www.tmz.com/2015/01/02/donna-douglas-dead-beverly-hillbillies-elly-may-clampett/
January 2, 201511 yr Member I'm sorry to hear this. I always thought the Beverly Hillbillies caricatures overshadowed some of the cast. Donna was such a gorgeous lady, as shown in movies like Frankie and Johnny. Seeing a grown woman wearing pigtails years on end took some of that glamour away. I did enjoy her cameo on The Nanny.

January 2, 201511 yr Member This is sad. I loved her on BH. Elly May and all her animals. She was fun to watch.
January 3, 201511 yr Member RIP to her. TBH has always been one of my favorite shows, and she played her part perfectly. I'm glad to see that Max Baer has embraced TBH and its legacy. That wasn't always the case. It must be very sobering for him to realize that he truly is the last man standing from the entire production.
