American actress who is best known for her role as Elly May Clampett, Donna Douglas has an estimated net worth of $500 thousand.

Though she appeared in feature films before and after the much-loved '60s sitcom The Beverly Hillbillies, Donna Douglas will always be remembered as the buxom, blue-eyed tomboy Elly May Clampett. She was born Doris Smith on September 26, 1933 in East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana, United States and grew up to be very much like Elly May in that she always had a special affinity for animals and nature. As a teen, Douglas was a cheerleader and won some beauty contests, notably the title of Miss New Orleans 1957. From there Douglas appeared as the Letters Girl on The Perry Como Show and later appeared on The Steve Allen Show as a Billboard Girl. She made her feature-film debut in Career Girl (1959) and followed it up with a co-starring role in the Rock Hudson/Doris Day screwball comedy Lover Come Back (1960).
