Did you know that actress Irene Ryan who played Granny Clampett on TV’s Beverly Hillbillies appeared in the movie Bonzo Goes to College with Ronald Reagan and that she was a character, or recurring character on at least 15 different TV series? Of course you didn’t.
Better yet, did you know that Will Ryder’s Beverly Hillbillies XXX parody is at least the fourth time that TV series has been lampooned in porn?
Included on that exhaustive canvass of down home art, is the fact that there were two features titled “Beverly Thrillbillies” one which came out in 1988 from Erotic Video Network.
Porn, in those days was less willing to risk copyright infringement suits, so character names and titles were broad approximations of their namesakes. Hence, in director Fast Eddy Lawrence’s portrayal, Jennifer Steel becomes “Ellie Ann” and Jesse Eastern is Jeb while Brook Summers is “Jane Holdaway”.
The second Beverly Thrillbillies was directed by Frank Marino for Zane Entertainment Group in 1993. While I don’t know whose idea this was, Dyanna Lauren plays both characters, Granny and Ellie Mae; T.T.Boy is Jethro and Jonathan Morgan is “Jeb”. Also in the cast is Deborah Wells, Lynn LeMay, Nikki Shane and Sunny Ray.
Director Jim Enright, for In-X-Cess Productions, also took a shot at hillbilly immortality with his rendition: Beaverly Hillbillies. It starred Tiffany Million, Sahara Sands, Steven St.Croix, Mike Horner, the late Jon Dough and Jonathan Morgan, appearing a second time in a Hillbillies spoof, thus making him a totally obscure trivia question that’ll earn you a beer in any bar.
But any denizen of the cement pond can tell you that Ryder’s achievement, in shotgun parlance, blows away the competition. His casting is impeccable, and Haley Hewes [pictured], who plays Granny, is a gift from the gods.
