Donna Douglas, the actress most known for playing the giddy, goofy Elly May Clampett on "The Beverly Hillbillies," has died at age 81 according to several reports.
It cannot be overstated what a
phenomenon "The Beverly Hillbillies" was. Not only was the comedy the #1
series in America for its first two seasons, but the episode "The Giant
Jackrabbit" remains one of the single most watched half-hours in sitcom
history. Douglas was essential to the show's rollicking mix, and she
remained friends with "Hillbillies" star Buddy Ebsen until his death.
Let's take a look back at some of Douglas' finer contributions to popular culture.
