So long Donna Douglas
Awww, Donna Douglas passed away. Not much is being said about it, but, I thought I'd put a goodbye on here, I always liked her. Donna was 81, I don't know what she passed of, it was her time, that's all. We all know her as Ellie May with her critters, that's for sure. She was so cute with all those animals and the goin's on sometimes got risqué out at the cement pond with Donna in a modern bathing suit. When Granny decided to give a naked Ellie a good scrubbin' in a tub, all the men in America tuned in that night, even the ones who thought they were too sophisticated to watch the Hillbillies.
Donna had a solid television career before the Hillbillies though and one of my favorite performances of hers was when she was in the Twilight Zone episode called 'Eye Of The Beholder'. I love that episode and you can watch it HERE. She also starred in the movie, Frankie And Johnny with Elvis, it was one of his more popular (cornball) movies. I think because Donna was in it. So, rest in peace, Donna, you will be missed.

When I was little, I called that episode "the pig story". Now that I look at it again, they look more like Daffy Duck.
This made me sad. Whenever I saw her on any talk show, she seemed so nice, and I loved Ellie Mae and her critters.

Rest in peace, Donna. :(
