When casting began for “The Beverly Hillbillies” in 1962, most actresses played Elly May Clampett as a broad country joke. Donna Douglas made a different choice. She played her straight-with sincerity, warmth, and absolute dignity. The show became a phenomenon, running nine seasons. Elly May loved animals, ignored social games, and stayed true to herself. Douglas never ran from the role. She embraced it, treating fans warmly for decades.
