The thing I remember most about Irene Ryan is the zest with which she played Granny. I've seen her on Password from 1966, and it's amazing. I mean, here's this very intelligent woman who played this caustic little spitfire. She just threw herself into a role that was way out there.
Robert Osbourne appeared on the premiere episode of The BH?! I never knew that. Love Nancy Kulp. So talented, naturally funny, and kind. I heard she was a great animal lover and nicely scolded a man on a Los Angles sidewalk for buckling his dog’s collar too tight and yanking at it. She told him to not be so rough with his dog. Right on, Nancy!
I loved her, she was funny but only because she was the straight character in an insane world. Jane Hathaway and Mr Drysdale added that extra element that made the show a classic. PS I am 70 now so I saw the whole shebang from new.
Nancy Jane Kulp (28 de agosto de 1921 - 3 de febrero de 1991) fue una actriz estadounidense, conocida principalmente por su trabajo como Miss Jane Hathaway en la popular serie televisiva The Beverly Hillbillies.
Very talented actress. Great on Beverly HIllbillies. But! Hope she didn't talk politics with Brian Keith! LOL, Nancy was a staunch liberal democrat and word is she and Buddy Ebsen, a staunch conservative republican, used to get into some pretty heated arguments over politics. She even ran for congress in the 1980's. And Buddy did an add for her republican opponent! That caused a very big estrangement between them. But I did read that they made their peace before she passed, which I hope was true. Brian Keith was also a republican, so hopefully they stayed off politics!

Very cool, thanks for posting this. Mrs. Hathaway never sounded better.
Classy lady! My favorite trivia regarding the Beverly Hillbillies is, the Robert Osborne guest appearance in the series premiere.

Rip Nancy Kulp
i like the way she talks.
For the longest time I thought she was British.
?????
@@ngc-fo5te - She has a British look about her and she had an affected voice on the Hillbillies that sounded a bit British.
Me to. ❤

Nancy was the only reason I watched the Beverly Hillbillies.
