A Clampett may have struck it rich yet again.
Or at least the actress who played the beautiful tomboy Elly May on the television show "The Beverly Hillbillies," who settled a lawsuit with toy giant Mattel Inc. and CBS Consumer Products over a Barbie doll modeled after her character.
Actress Donna Douglas, who held the role of buxom Elly May, claimed that she never gave permission for the El Segundo toy maker to use her photo or name in promoting the doll, according to court filings.

When I lived in Big Lindy Wyoming I drove up to Victor Idaho and around to see if I could get a glimpse of ‘Mary Ann’
Carolyn Jones had them all beat
She used to pull up in a shiny convertible to my elementary school to pick up one of my classmates, the daughter of her husband or boyfriend. She was gorgeous.
Ok, it was her husband who was the father of my classmate. I wasn’t sure if they were married or what.
sorry==Now = No in my post

Addams Family Carolyn Jones? You must have been into the goth thing 2 decades before everyone else.
Nice landing gear!!!
Well Gilligan and Mary Ann Had a love child Kato Kailen
She still has a natural beauty to her, even at 78. I realize she’s a Christian, who hates her sexy 1960’s image, but c’mon. SHE’s the one who put on the costumes!
Ho! Lee!
