On October 20, 2010, Donna Douglas appeared in her role as Elly May Clampett at the Alario Center in Marrero, LA – just a little east of the “cee-ment pond” and greeted guests and signed autographs. A good time was had by all! WE LOVE YOU ELLY MAY!!!
Long before there was Lily Tomlin, Sandra Bernhard,or Ellen DeGeneres there was Nancy Kulp. In case anyone has forgotten Nancy Kulp and her powerful comedic chops, here is an early clip of her on the nearly forgotten Bob Cummings Show, “Love That Bob”, circa 1955. Say what you will about the dated sensibilities of the show and the blatantly sexist and shallow tone, Nancy’s rich characterization shines thru and stands the Test of Time. Like her later character, Miss Jane on the Hillbilly show in the 60’s, Pamela Livingston was a marvel of comedic timing, vocal inflection and wicked intelligence. Watch her as she boldly (and futilely) tries to seduce Bob with the joys of nature. Observe her body language, her man-nersisms, her cocked head, her placement of his hand. Her subtle sexuality is infinitely more seductive (in the long run) than the crass, and obvious flirtings of the buxom models on the show. One wonders what might have befallen Bob had he taken the road less traveled and gone with Pam to watch the 3 Tufted Titmouses! Look beyond her carefully staged and safely androgenous stylings; Look carefully at her full, pouty lips, her bedroom eyelids, her wide, curvy hips… Her deliriously bouyant MIND! What thinking person of any gender could resist? Think what Nancy could have done with a great script…One wonders if a strong stage career might have been hers had not the trappings of Television success befell her. We miss you Nancy! You Transcend!

She may look more like Granny than Elly May, but Donna is still beautiful!

Beauty does not fade if you are a similar age – I’m 57 but Donna still looks gorgeous to me, in fact it’d be weird looking at a 20 year old in that way. Donna’s eyes are so pretty and I’d love to spend time with her – I should be so blessed.

…. well to each his own. I like Elly May (aka Donna Douglas) alot, but I would not jump in the sack with someone almost 80. A bit too old for me.

She was definitely a hottie in her prime. I must say, even now she looks pretty damn good! I am far from having a fetish for women who are seniors, but I must confess that if the opportunity suddenly arose in which I could jump into the sack with her I would! Okay, I am 26 and she is pushing 80, but it is Elly May Clampett damnit.

Donna looks pretty good after all these years. Keep in mind the Beverly Hillbillies was on TV about 45 years ago!
She hasn’t really changed all that much. Man, was she a hottie in her prime.
Good to see she is alive and well.

Wonderful. Nice to see dear Joi Lansing in there, too. She and Bob and the other gal seem to get genuinely tickled by Nancy’s quip about the “tit-mouse-ay.”

always wondered why i was attracted to her when i was a child in the 60’s…..
i think she was not given enough credit for her skills, in a ‘plastic’ world of hollywood –

Nancy Culp was an off-beat Genius. From the same planet as Adam West, Roger Bowen… They were different.

Nancy may have been ahead of her time. Today her look might be classified as “geek chic”. I’ve always suspected that beneath that “prim and proper” look, “Miss Jane” might be hiding a somewhat powerful sexual dynamic (and. yes, I am aware of her supposed sexual proclivities, but fooey on those who denigrate her for that). And who can deny the attraction of a brilliantly intelligent woman, even one of average/modest looks, to those who appreciate such attributes.
