Elly May has left Beverly Hills for that big mansion in the sky

She was also in the famous classic Twilight Zone episode "Eye of the Beholder", about the woman undergoing multiple surgeries to become beautiful. She's the result, not the bandaged woman.

I wonder if the "kids today" with all their entertainment options have common touchstones like we of a certain age had. Maybe Spongebob and Pewdiepie? I imagine for most in their 30's/40's that they have at least a passing familiarity with the Beverly Hillbillies. Though I know the younger set don't necessarily know what their parents mean when they say they were packed like the "Beverly Hillbillies".

The cement pond will be a bit lonelier now...
 
I love The Beverly Hillbillies, as well as (I'm not italicizing all of these, dammit) Twilight Zone, Gunsmoke, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Batman, Star Trek (of course), Bat Masterson, Petticoat Junction, Rockford Files, Cheyenne, The Andy Griffith Show, I Love Lucy, Bewitched, Gilligan's Island, The Munsters, The Outer Limits, The Addams Family, Lost in Space, and many more. These shows are classics.

Believe me, it saddens me to see such a wonderful lady, and lovable character, depart this earth.
 
^^ Most of those shows are on MeTV, J, if that's available in your area. In fact, I have Beverly Hillbillies on every morning as I get ready for work (Petticoat Junction, too).

I can't believe Donna Douglas was 81. It's just shocking to hear that she's gone. I loved her in both "Eye of the Beholder" (one of my favorite TZs) and Beverly Hillbillies. Elly May was a great character-- beautiful and tough and she loved animals. She always had critters hanging all over her. RIP, Donna and Elly May. :(

At our town's Halloween parade this year, there was a group dressed as The Flintstones. None of the kids around me had the slightest idea who they were supposed to be . . . .
