She lived a long life.


She was also in a classic ep of the Twilight Zone called "Eye of the Beholder."

Watch it if you haven't seen it.

Donna Douglas was hot as Ellie Mae Clampett.  :P

Looks like Max Baer is the only survivor of the show's cast, which has been vexed with untimely deaths ever since the Manson murder spree in 1969...  :-\\

Fortunately Max and Donna did a reunion show a few years back.  :)

Do you mean Max Baer Jr, for Max Baer, his father, died in 1959?

Max Baer Jr. played the role of Jethro in The Beverly Hillbillies.

Max Baer (Jr.) is reputedly a real stud.  He dated Sharon Tate, Victoria Principal, and even starlet Christy Canyon from what I've read on the web.  A few years ago he was dating some chick 40 years younger than him.  :o

In the 60's he used to party regularly with Elvis Presley, and also spent extensive time at Hef's Playboy Mansion, as he was pals with Dorothy Stratten's hubby, Paul Snider  8-P .

Despite his fame as "Jethro Bodine" which typecast him and for all intents and purposes, ended his acting career, he earned tens of millions of dollars after Hillbillies, producing drive-in movie fare such as Macon County Line and Ode to Billie Joe.  8)

Jethro may not have been a "double-nought spy" but he was/is definitely a player.  8)

I was playing a game online the other night, a pokies game on facebook and it was one reflecting the beverley hillbillies, the game is called Turkey day and i got the feature on it 3 times, I got the feature showing Ellie may 3 times also, and i thought to myself, no way, she has passed........... and in the next 15 minutes wouldnt you know it was all over the internet and televised the next morning. I was quite saddened by this and im pretty sure its only Max Baer jr as the only actor still alive from the original show(not sure about producers and so Forth.


RIP Donna Douglas AKA Ellie may clampett

You are right; Max is the only one left. Even the guys who did the theme song, Flatt&Scruggs and the producers are gone too as well as all 5 guys who directed the series during its run, and almost all the writers. Pretty much the same thing that happened to the cast and crew of Hogan's Heroes and Green Acres.

Linda Henning  :-* who used to make some guest appearances is still with us.
