View Full Version : Elly May's Age Scoobiedoo30 01-03-2008, 03:46 PM does anyone know Elly Real age when The show debuted Maynard 01-03-2008, 07:07 PM 29. BadBoy 01-03-2008, 08:23 PM Yeah Donna Douglas was born in 1933, so was about 29 when the show debuted in 1962. At the end of the run in 1971, she was in her late 30s. Interestingly Max Baer, Jr. (Jethro) was younger, born in 1937. Maynard 01-04-2008, 01:17 AM She was supposed to be 12 or 13 at the time of the pilot, if I recall correctly. A "spinster" indeed.

Toward the end of the series it looked like she was starting to show her age. tv star collector 01-04-2008, 08:56 AM At the height of the show's popularity, in the early sixties, an original cast LP record album was released. Here's a snippet of dialogue from that recording: MILBURN DRYSDALE: Elly May is such a beautiful girl. I wonder why she isn't married. GRANNY: She's eighteen -- she's too old! Maynard 01-04-2008, 01:39 PM Now that you mention it, I seem to recall that it was a running gag that Elly May was older than 12 or 13, but Granny insisted that was her age so as not to scare off potential suitors.

Here's a snippet of dialogue from that recording: MILBURN DRYSDALE: Elly May is such a beautiful girl. I wonder why she isn't married. GRANNY: She's eighteen -- she's too old! I remember that "Beverly Hillbillies" LP record album, I received one as a birthday gift back in the late 60's. There were a lot of fun bits on that album. I wish I still had it along with some other old LPs that all got lost decades ago. BadBoy 01-05-2008, 05:22 PM I just did a google search on the Beverly Hillbillies LP and found several good links, it might still be available from various sources, even an Amazon CD version of it. At that link you can even play short clips from the various LP tracks, it brings back old memories! :) http://www.amazon.com/Beverly-Hillbillies-TV-Soundtrack/dp/B00000299I http://www.thesoundtracktoyourlife.co.uk/product,3680,beverly_hillbillies.html http://childrensrecordsandmore.blogspot.com/2007/09/beverly-hillbillies-1965-tv-cast-lp.html http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51cAjDR9TnL._AA240_.jpg |
