Barbie suit settled

THE actress who played tomboy Elly May Clampett on 1960s television show "The Beverly Hillbillies" has settled her lawsuit against Mattel over a Barbie doll based on her character.

Donna Douglas, now 78, sued the toy firm in May and the consumer products division of CBS Corp seeking a minimum of US$75,000 in damages.

Her complaint said Mattel was "engaging in the unauthorized use" of her name, likeness and image to promote and sell the "Elly May" Barbie.

The financial terms were not revealed.
