My Take
Nancy Kulp is the kind of performer I instinctively root for: the indispensable character actor rather than the headliner. Her Miss Jane Hathaway on The Beverly Hillbillies was sharp, dry and quietly unforgettable, the sort of supporting work that holds a whole ensemble together. A Florida State graduate who also wrote and did comedy, she clearly had range beyond a single role. I have always believed comedies live or die on their second-tier players, and she elevated everything she touched. Decades after her 1991 passing, her precise, intelligent presence still reads as genuine craft.
