Nancy Kulp

Nancy Jane Kulp (August 28, 1921 – February 3, 1991) was an American actress best known as "Miss Jane Hathaway" on the popular television series, The Beverly Hillbillies.

Political career

In 1984, Kulp ran for the U.S. House of Representatives as a Democrat from Pennsylvania, but was ultimately unsuccessful, due in part to Hillbillies co-star Buddy Ebsen's support of her Republican opponent, incumbent Bud Shuster. Ebsen went so far as to tape an ad for Kulp's opponent, labeling her as "too liberal." Kulp was bitter because Ebsen claimed she was exploiting her celebrity and didn't know the issues, when he was a Californian and a much bigger celebrity than she.
