Not only has Donna Douglas always been a very beautiful woman, but from the interviews I’ve seen her do over the years, she always came across as a genuinely nice person - she never took on the “Diva” attitude that some many other actresses display.
You cant bitch about it, but young men are going to still like you.
When I was a kid my aunt and uncle and cousins came out to visit in Southern California. One day we were showing them the sights and were driving through Beverly Hills when we spotted the Beverly Hillbillies shooting a scene driving the truck. We followed them to a backstreet and walked over to them. There were only a few fans besides ourselves.
Buddy Ebsen, Irene Ryan, and Donna Douglas were very nice. Irene Ryan was very sweet and went out of her way, fussing all over my youngest cousin who was a skinny little squirt. Staying in character, she said, "Why you're going to be as big as Jethro!"
Max Baer seemed put out and bee-lined from the truck to the limo.
