Actress Donna Douglas (now 78) has reached a monetary settlement of her suit against Mattel for the unauthorized use of Elly May Clampett's name and likeness in marketing the Elly May Barbie in the 1960's. (CBS Consumer Products had claimed that it owned exclusive rights to the Elly May character, and had not needed to obtain Ms. Douglas' consent before entering a marketing agreement with Mattel.)

I understand that Dash Riprock, Biff Steele, Bolt Upright, and Crunch Hardtack all filed amicus curiae briefs in connection with the case.

If you can watch Ellie May dancing with that Gorilla and not laugh, you're dead inside. Whomever picked out the clothes for the Gorilla should have won an Emmy

RIP DD

We are just jealous of anyone, or anything, that got that close to Elly May. :p

Rest in Peace

I was aware her looks had an inverse relationship with age thanks to Howard Stern but she was always a sweet polite Southern Belle...RIP

RIP Donna I guess it's ok to admit that I had a crush on you growing up. My condolences to family members, friends, and associates. She had a considerable fan following during the span of the show.


she was asked during her audition to milk a goat.
