What a way to start the new year. :(

I know right, R.I.P Donna Douglas :(

I met her at an autograph show once YEARS ago when it only cost $10 to get a signed photo. She was a very charming lady. She always signed her name along with Proverbs 3: 5 & 6 (her favorite passage from the bible). I wouldn't be surprised if they put that on her tombstone.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding; think about Him in all your ways, and He will guide you on the right paths.

^^^So true.

Sad news to bring in the new year.

I loved her in "The Beverly Hillbillies". Elly May was very beautiful and sexy but in a very tasteful fashion, something you rarely see today. A very sad loss for all of her fans.

It's almost impossible to think of Elly May as 81.
