Donna Douglas, internationally known for her portrayal of Elly May in The Beverly Hillbilies, was born near Baton Rouge, LA. As a young girl she spent much of her time on her grandparents' farm developing into a real tomboy - climbing trees, swinging on vines, playing football, basketball and softball, with her older brother and all her boy cousins. She even learned to whistle through her teeth, getting ready for Jethro long before she ever met him. Moving to Bton Rouge with her family she participated in many school, church, and local recreational park activities.
Without definite focus of an acting career, she hoped to find work in New York. In time she appeared as a Letters Girl on The Perry Como Show, a billboard girl on the Steve Allen Show, several commercials and did illustration modeling. These and other television appearances led New York newspaper reporters and photographers to award her the Miss By-Line crown, which she wore on The Ed Sullivan Show. Producer Hal Wallis saw that program, brought her to Hollywood, changed her name and signed her for her motion picture debut in Career with Dean Martin and Shirley MacLaine. She also appeared in Lil'Abner and Lover Come Back. Miss Douglas appeared in numerous television guest roles before she landed the part of Elly Mae in The Beverly Hillbillies, a role for which she had to re-learn her natural Southern accent after speiding the early part of her career trying to lose its identifying effects.
Since The Beverly Hillbillies she has appeard on many TV shows, including, The Nanny, The Twilight Zone/Rod Serling, Love American Style, McMillian and Wife , to name only a few.
She has many opportunities for personal appearances throughout this country, and hastraveled to Japan, Austrailia, England,Israel, Canade, Mexico, etc.
"Today the role of Elly Mae has been a beautiful opportunity, a wonderful little door opener for me to share my heart with others, whether speaking in churches, ladies conferences, youth groups, schools, conventions, and various civic organizations, or one-on-one. A sclice out of my life. Amazing what God can do with a life, if given the opportunity!" Proverbs 3:5-6
