Why she might be annoying

She had 'God talks' with Elvis on the 'Frankie and Johnny' set.
She nearly quit 'The Beverly Hillbillies' to follow Elvis after the movie was filmed.
She recorded a country album and a gospel album.
She was offered a role on a prime time soap but turned it down because it was too trashy (what did she expect?).
Though typecast as Elly May Clampett she claims she doesn't mind as she is proud of the character.
Why she might not be annoying
She was Miss New Orleans 1957.
She beat out over 500 actresses to land the role of Elly May.
She is a lot like her Elly May character - a tomboy who likes 'critters.'
She received more fan mail than any other 'Hillbillies' actor.
After a brief career in real estate she has pursued gospel singing full time.
She occasionally attends TV conventions dressed in her 'Hillbillies' attire.
