       > Donna Douglas, who played the buxom tomboy Elly May Clampett
       on the hit 1960s sitcom "The Beverly Hillbillies," has died.
       >
       > Her niece says Douglas died Thursday in Baton Rouge,
       Louisiana, near her hometown of Zachary. The cause of death was
       pancreatic cancer, Charlene Smith said. Douglas was 81.

       > She was best known for her role in "The Beverly Hillbillies,"
       the CBS comedy about a backwoods Ozark family who moved to
       Beverly Hills after striking it rich from oil discovered on
       their land.

       > The series, which ran from 1962 to 1971, also starred the late
       Buddy Ebsen and Irene Ryan as well as Max Baer Jr., who turns 77
       on Sunday.

       > As Elly May, she seemed blissfully unaware of her status as a
       bumpkin blond bombshell. Typically she was clad in a snug
       flannel shirt and tight jeans cinched with a rope belt, and she
       seemed to prefer her critters to any beau.
