Biography
Nancy Jane Kulp was an Emmy Award - nominated American actress best known as "Miss Jane Hathaway" on the popular television series The Beverly Hillbillies.
She moved to Hollywood, California, to work in a studio publicity department, but director George Cukor convinced her that she should work in front of the camera.
Thus began a career as a character actress. Her movie debut was in 1951 in "The Company She Keeps". She appeared in subsequent films, including "Shane" (1953), "Sabrina" (1954) and "A Star is Born" (1954). In 1955 she joined the cast of "The Bob Cummings Show" (aka "Love That Bob") with Bob Cummings as pith-helmeted neighborhood bird-watcher, "Pamela Livingston". She returned to movies in "Forever, Darling" (1956), "The Three Faces of Eve" (1957) and "The Parent Trap" (1961). She also appeared on "The Twilight Zone", "I Love Lucy", and "Sanford and Son".
In 1962, she landed the role of Jane Hathaway, the sex-starved perennial spinster, on "The Beverly Hillbillies" television series. She remained with the show until its cancellation in 1971. In 1967, she received an Emmy Award nomination for her role.
