[Note: Unless otherwise indicated, all quotes and commentary from Donna Douglas are from an interview with her conducted by the author.]. Donna Douglas, who died of pancreative cancer at 82 in 2015, was an honest-to-goodness Southern Belle who displayed a natural beauty and talent in her portrayal of the hollering, rope-wearing, whistle-happy, and critter-cuddling Elly May Clampett on the 1960s classic TV hit, The Beverly Hillbillies.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

In an interview with The Ringer (via Fightful), Braun Strowman spoke about why he’s been keeping his distance from the Wyatt Sicks, as he feels drawn to the new faction. He said: “They’re fucking terrifying. There’s no other way to put it. I’ve said this a couple of times in interviews, I’m purposely trying to stay as far away as I can right now because that part of me, I work really hard to put away. There’s a monster instead of this monster and I feel him rattle his cage because there’s something about them that I can feel myself wanting to be pulled, I’m fighting it. I don’t want to go there, I don’t want to let him back out. If they’re able to pull it back out of me, I fear for myself, I fear for anything that’s around me. I’m not a good person when it comes out and I’m very good at doing bad things to people. I’m so happy for Taylor and him being able to carry on Windham’s legacy and having his opportunity to shine. He’s never, outside of NXT, he’s never had that opportunity to show the world how talented he is. I’ve said it time and time again, Taylor is as talented or more talented than Windham was. He’s just never had the chance to show it and I think people are starting to get a glimpse of it. It’s really cool what they’re doing, it’s very intriguing all of this stuff, they have you on the edge of your seat waiting for what’s next because they’re doing so good with the presentation of all this. As me watching as a fan, it makes me want more, I want more because it’s addictive. It’s caffeine, it’s that drug, I need more of this, I got to see where this is going.“
