Alas, this new generation.
Maybe for the younger ones that watched the movie.
In the TV series the movie was based on, they were from Tennessee. And that is a picture of the TV series cast.
The Beverly Hillbillies is an American television sitcom that was broadcast on CBS from 1962 to 1971. It had an ensemble cast featuring Buddy Ebsen, Irene Ryan, Donna Douglas, and Max Baer Jr. as the Clampetts, a poor, backwoods family from the hills of the Ozarks, who move to posh Beverly Hills, California, after striking oil on their land.
Are the Clampetts from Tennessee?
Season 9's episode, The Beverly Hillbillies: The Clampetts Meet Robert Audubon Getty Crockett (1971), revealed that the Clampetts hail from Limestone, TN, and not the Ozarks as previously assumed.
