“Donna Douglas as ‘Elly May Clampett’ – The Beverly Hillbillies, 1962

In this classic image, actress and singer Donna Douglas appears as Elly May Clampett in the hit CBS sitcom The Beverly Hillbillies, which aired throughout the 1960s. From 1962 to 1971, Douglas won over viewers with her role as the sweet-natured, animal-loving daughter of Jed and Rose Ellen Clampett. A native of East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana, she brought authenticity to the role, truly capturing the essence of a kind-hearted, nature-loving Southern belle.

Douglas also earned praise for her appearance in one of the most memorable episodes of The Twilight Zone, titled “Eye of the Beholder.” Beyond acting, she pursued a passion for cooking, releasing her own cookbook in 2013: Southern Favorites with a Taste of Hollywood, a collection filled with comfort food and personal stories from her Hollywood days.
