    She was able to stretch that character throughout her life, good for her.

      Donna said that character was most like herself. I think we are probably seeing Donna and not Elly May.

    What impressed me in the interview is she comes across as very genuine. Nothing showy about her. Gorgeous when she was young but I don't think she ever was conceited. I think she was brought up to put more emphasis on her mission in life and she did a great job. Only thing I could comment negatively about is that hair. Beautiful when she was young, like all old people, the hair doesn't have that healthy glow. I am old myself and always keep my hair short which I think suits older people. She still had a very pretty face in this interview but the hair spoils her as it was all over the place.

      I miss Donna Douglas. What a great inspirational view of an honest and humble lady. Seeing her on the screen and marveling at her beauty is just a small part. What stands out to me is her ability to see deception. She was not scared to be true to herself. We need more people of character like Donna. I watched every episode of the beverly hillbillies never heard a curse word. I think society has been so compromised from corruption. Creativity has been lost to antics of obscenity. No talent is required, just indoctrination of hopelessness. Her image will forever be played somewhere on the airwaves. Her soul, however, will be with the everlasting king of kings. The latter is all that matters.

    I agree with them that we need to keep her animal stories about the early days alive. It may not have been legal, but it was a part of life. I always thought I’d either make a real good missionary or a real good moonshine Rado this is a Godly Redneck says hi. Enjoy the video more than you’ll ever know. Keep on keeping on and keep it safe godly redneck out.

    When the old timers started retiring and passing away, was the day Nascar died. The new drivers can't hold a candle to these guys. Personally Nascar died for me when Dale Earnhardt passed away.

      Yeah at almost 73years old (July 15th of this year, 2023) I can remember seeing films and videos of junior Johnsons career winding down and interviews about his joining Nascar which were the basis for the movie about his days of running "shine " before he became one 1⃣ of the first big names in Nascar along with Ralph Earnhardt, and others who raced on the dirt short tracks that became the early roots of Nascar and the Robert Mitchem movie you're thinking was "Thunder Road " and y the influences of "Thunder Road " were obvious in the Burt Reynolds movie, "White Lightning and also his Gator McClusky movies and a lot of the movie "Days of Thunder " was based on a lot of true stories about Nascar around the time Sr , DW and others were just getting started in Nascar and some active and retired drivers actually drove in some of the racing scenes because the director and producers wanted the realism of actual Nascar drivers racing onthe tracks used for filming

  • @rustyturner431
    @rustyturner431 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just a small addendum to Junior's story about the Sheriff: I had an uncle who was the long-time Sheriff of one of those western NC counties (Madison, I believe). When I was about 12, I listened to him telling tales about the 1930s-1950s moonshining. This was about 1955, and I asked him, "Bob, if the liquor business was illegal, why didn't you arrest these guys? I mean, you say you knew them, so you must've known where they lived and all that." Uncle Bob looked at me and kind of squinted one eye and said, "Shit, boy, I was an ELECTED official. If I was to start busting liquor guys, they'd find somebody to run against me in the next election and I'd be out of a job!'

    • @MrGaryGG48
      @MrGaryGG48 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have no doubt that Junior knew just what he was doing, but in many later model cars, it isn't' recommended that you rest you hand on the shift lever. It holds pressure on the syncros and they tend to wear prematurely. I'm not very familiar with the cars of the '40s & '50s and their weaknesses/tendencies or whatever you would call that. I never met Junior but I did get to talk with Richard Petty once and talked with Buddy Baker on his Sirius/XM radio show several times. Listening to Junior is much like hearing those other guys talking about their backgrounds and experiences. I could sit there for days and not get tired of visiting... it reminded me much of sitting with my grandfather who was born in 1898. Their old stories were always the best!! Wonderful memories...
