       [quote]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.[/quote]
