DONNA DOUGLAs who played Elly May Clampett on "The Beverly Hillbillies," and toymaker Mattel Inc. and CBS Consumer Products Inc. — the makers of Barbie– have made peace.

They settled a lawsuit claiming the companies didn't get Donna’s approval to use her name and likeness for a Barbie doll as The ENQUIRER previously reported.

Douglas shone as the critter-loving tomboy sexpot for nine seasons of the CBS TV sitcom about a backwoods family that strikes oil and moves to Beverly Hills.

U.S. District Court in Baton Rouge said in a one-sentence order that a settlement had been reached.

Details of court settlements typically are kept private.

The ENQUIRER had reported Douglas' lawsuit sought a minimum payback of  $75,000.

Earlier, both CBS and Mattel said they didn't need her approval because they claimed they held exclusive rights to the character of Elly Mae Clampett.
