She was also in an episode of “I Love Lucy”. She played the part of a maid working in a London hotel. She tried to teach Lucy how to curtsie because there was a chance Lucy would meet the queen.
I don't care if they disliked each other as long as they did their job well. Just as on screen you would never have guessed Andy Griffith and Frances Bavier disliked each other. It's called good acting!

@@albertcarello619 YES! I can't believe l forgot them as l Love Lucy is my all time favorite. They were such professional and good actors, they made sure we all thought Fred and Ethel really loved each other.
I saw an old TV crime drama where she was exactly Miss Hathaway in every aspect except she was playing a sadistic bitch kidnapper. I don't know if it was pre or post BHB but it was so weird. It was like Miss Hathaway went psycho.
One of the greatest Hollywood triumphs - and one that resonates even today - occurred when Jack Haley won the role as Tin Man in ‘The Wizard of Oz’ over Buddy Ebsen. And then there was Ebsen’s awkward, miscast part in ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’……………….
The show was called "The Beverly Hillbillies", not "Miss Hathaway and The Beverly Hillbillies". Buddy Ebsen was the star, with Irene Ryan, Donna Douglas, and Max Baer Jr. as co-stars. Nancy Kulp, Raymond Bailey, and others were there to fill plot needs. This isn’t about opinions or feelings-it’s simply how character-driven TV works. Nancy Kulp should have appreciated having a major recurring role because she could have been replaced without hesitation. That’s not harsh; it’s just the reality of the business. In television, every actor has their place. Supporting roles serve a purpose, and not every character is destined to take center stage. Occasionally, a supporting character might gain more prominence, especially if audiences resonate with them. In rare cases, a minor character might even become the driving force of a series-like Steve Urkel, whose popularity turned him into the centerpiece of *Family Matters*, extending the show’s lifespan by sheer chance. But these moments are exceptions, not the rule. Actors must understand their role in the larger picture and be grateful for the opportunities they have, large or small. Even the smallest part is a significant achievement in an industry where countless people line up every day for a chance to be on screen. Ambition is fine, but keeping perspective is crucial. If an actor works hard, gets noticed by the right director on the right day, they might get a shot at a starring role. But that’s never guaranteed. And rarely anything to do with talent or looks. They just need to be the one that fit the directors need that day. At the end of the day, humility, and gratitude go a long way in this business. Recognize the value of your role, no matter its size, and appreciate the chance to contribute to the story being told.
Buddy Ebsen lived close to me in Sedona, Az. He was rude to almost everyone here in this small community. He sold his paintings at local galleries and would show up for the publicity for them. Even there promoting his art he was rude to customers.
Those actors were not always the best of friends. It was only a show. I met 2 females who talked much like Miss Hathaway. I kept it to myself Did not want to pop a fuse Ahh!!
From what I have read the women stars of the Beverly Hillbillies as a group , Miss Ryan , Douglas , Kulp , and Mac Gibbon were more close than the male stars .
@@jacintofragoso1211 What a career. One minor role that never grew. She wasn't versatile enough for the writers to increase the complexity of the role. They should have eliminated it. Loving Jethro was her only career. He never looked at her. What man in the should gave her a glance? I found her's a useless part. Granny was more active than Ms Hathaway.
I couldn't disagree more. You don't have to be a liberal to see that Nancy Culp was a brilliant comic. She was born for that role. She was the perfect highly educated and prudent spinster. It was Mrs. Drysdale I never liked. No matter how hard they tried, to me she always looked unkempt. And those teeth! She had enough money at that time. Why didn't she have those things, fixed???😆
I'm guessing Buddy was a conceited, established prick actor who had nothing to prove and Nancy was a pushy feminist type who took the show and her role seriously. There was little in common about their outlook either personally or professionally. Not a big shock they didn't get along and that each had a personal vendetta against the other.
He was supposed to play the tin man, but he had an allergic reaction to the silver makeup that couldn't be treated fully. Ultimately, Jack Haley played the tin man.
I had the pleasure of meeting her at Long Wharf Theatre in New Haven CT. An absolutely lovely lady.

I Met Ms.Kulp in NYC years ago and She told me about Mr.Ebsen's attitude towards her. I agree with her..he had no right to criticize her.
Ebsen was a creep.
Culp would undoubtedly find a comfortable home in today's democrat party.
There you go. A Democrat .😊
And a lesbian. In the 60's and 70's.
I remember after Hillbillies ended, she remained very close to Raymond Bailey( Mr. Drysdale) He lovingly nicknamed her slim.

Miss her.

Her Cameo appearances and battles with Fred G Sanford and Son were unheralded classics.
This is a very common metric. People hating those they work with is an American standard.
Where as in other countries, everything is kumbaya.
Thats her side of it, now lets hear his side. The truth usually will be somewhere in the middle.
Buddy was a prick.
He passed away years ago.
@@paulvalentine1483 did you know him?
Not always.
@@paulvalentine1483 He was a coin collector.

The same thing had to be explained to Tina Louise when she got her role on Gilligan's Island
@@dw-fe2ww if you have to look at the call sheet to see if you're needed on the set that day,, you're not a primary on the show. :)

She was awesome in that roll.

Nancy Kulp WAS married: to Charles Dacus from 1951 to 1961.
Those actors were not always the best of friends. It was only a show. I met 2 females who talked much like Miss Hathaway. I kept it to myself Did not want to pop a fuse Ahh!!
So, Culp was a wonderful person and Ebsen was a terrible person is your point?
Nancy Kulp really helped liven up the show.
Who cares she didn’t like a coworker? It’s tons of people in the work force that don’t. Many stay on jobs because they need the job.
From what I have read the women stars of the Beverly Hillbillies as a group , Miss Ryan , Douglas , Kulp , and Mac Gibbon were more close than the male stars .
Drama Is The Opposite Of Peace
Ebsen was a bully!
Which one do you think would have fit in at P Diddy's?
Buddy was 10 times the showman/entertainer that she ever was..... and Buddy had his politics right also....
yes she was a left winger
Do you know what EDSONs politics was?
@@KR72534
It said EBSEN''S politics were fortunately, conservative.
that is your opinion. Buddy was a fine actor. His body or work says so. His politics IMHO, through the 60's and 70's was and is FOS!!
Homely and awkward, nailed it.... The one character that could of left the series and not be missed.
The Beverly Hillbillies! Glenn
she was a lesbian
Yet he had the nerve to speak at her funeral
@@MrGolyat1 He was being 2 faced doing so
Robot voice, bye bye.
Nancy should not hate Biddy Edsen, but hate how he treated her on and off stage.
My guess is Culp was the instigator in the clashes.
I never cared for Ms. Hathaway. Why didn't she leave the show. None of us would have missed her.
That’s your opinion. Not that we care for it.
There was nothing wrong with that character she fit right in the shell
@@robboy102 She was a minor role. That's her entire career.

her career was well over when she came out - so there was no courage

The two definitely did not like each other.
Say what you want about Butty Epsen, but I loved him in the wizard of oz! So have a heart (get it??) He played the thin man.
I don't think you get it.
He was supposed to play the tin man, but he had an allergic reaction to the silver makeup that couldn't be treated fully. Ultimately, Jack Haley played the tin man.
@@drewwho4512 I actually knew that. Just bein' stupid for fun. I guess that's why I called him the thin man, totally unrelated. Thanks for your reply.
