Yesterday's Parade Magazine had a short note about the lady who played Ellie Mae Clampett on The Beverly Hillbillies. She just turned 75 years old!!! I'm devastated!!!!
Ellie Mae was one of the original "blondes" of television. She was the heart throb of many a strapping young lad. Ellie Mae was the reason "over the shoulder boulder holders" was coined. Her "assets" were remarkable!! At 75... those same "assets" are probably rubbing blisters on her knees!!!
75 years old!! As I have aged, 70 doesn't sound very old any more. 70 seems closer... and younger... and more manageable... every day. UNTIL, we find someone we picture as the young vixen she was on the tube... instead of modeling tight "hillbillie" clothing, being a model for Depends!! It can't happen!! It can't be!! Ellie Mae just, simply, can't be 75 years old!!!
Ms. Hathaway... Granny... Jeb... Sure, some got old... some weren't so lucky. Yet, you could picture any of those characters as "nursing home fodder". Not Ellie Mae. She should be forever young!!
The article did say she was still residing on her own ranch, caring for animals that had been abused or abandoned. I do hope her a long and good life. She just has no idea how badly her attaining the ripe old age of 75 has burst my bubble!!!!
