Donna Douglas, who played the buxom tomboy Elly May Clampett on the hit 1960s sitcom "The Beverly Hillbillies," has died.

Douglas died Thursday in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, near her hometown of Zachary. The cause of death was pancreatic cancer, said her niece, Charlene Smith. Douglas was 82.

The screen name Frank Cannon was also used on the TBL site years ago...a site definitely not similar to DU. Wonder if it is the same person.

What a wonderfully delightful character actress! She was also in a classic Twilight Zone Episode “Eye of the Beholder”........RIP swimming in the cement pond.
