Gold Angel Winner and Presenter

Few actresses have ever been more beautiful, talented, lovable, compassionate and dedicated than Donna Douglas who charmed a world as Elly May in The Beverly Hillbillies for nine years. Throughout a fascinating career that has ranged from television to concerts and country/gospel albums, she has been an example of the Hollywood the National Enquirer never writes about.

She grew up in Baton Rouge. Beauty contests led to Hollywood. She made her debut with Shirley MacLaine and was a permanent on the Steve Allen show.

She has won Golden Globe and TV Guide awards.
