Why is it that any reference to bisexuality is ruthlessly purged on Wikipedia? Reasonably well documented sources attest to Kulp's late-life lesbianism, why is this expunged time and time again? — Dutchman Schultz
I edited the final paragraph, which had read:
The use of slang in this paragraph is inappropriate, and the gratuitous aside about the fact she was 69 years old when she died is just childish. What's more, there is nothing ironic about it.
I too do not understand the term "ironically" being placed before aged 69. However, if it is indeed related to a sexual practice, then I don't think it should neccessarily be deleted, given that Ms. Kulp's proclivites consume a fair amount of the article. (Pardon the unintended pun.) The question therefore, is why is the word "ironically" placed in that position?
How do you know that death at 69 isn't ironic? Please back up your statement.
Death can only be ironic if it happens at the ages of 43, 72, and 105, of if you could be described as "Mr. Afraid to Fly" and after waiting your whole damn life to take a flight, your plane crashes down and you think "Well isn't this nice." Actually, since you want the text to say "ironically", the onus is on you to justify its inclusion. -- Cjs56 20:16, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
Since this is a 'discussion' area and we are remarking on the use of the word 'ironically', I truly believe it is misused because the word was originally used in parenthesis and there was no external reference to state why it was ironic. Therefore it is only left to the imagination of the reader by intention that the use of the word 'ironic' and its placement in the sentence did not have to do with the death itself but with her sexual preference and ... well, I quoted the entry and believe I am justified in deleting it.

I recall that Nancy Kulp had a circa 1990 appearance on the Arsenio Hall Show (a cameo-walkout during the monologue).
Perhaps the article could be editted to include this, so as to indicate that Kulp was still mobile enough at that time to do a TV appearance and that a young urbane audience (the usual demographic for the Arsenio Hall Show) would appreciate seeing her.

This article describes a failed run for office but as a kid growning up in Pennsylvania while Beverly Hillbillies was still all over the TV in syndication I was certain that she had actually held some sort of elected office, at least at state level. I'll check. PurpleChez ( talk) 02:34, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
A new heading--"Personal life"--needs to be added prior to the "Death" heading (but I don't now how to create that...can someone inform me? Then the information about her marriage and lesbianism (the final two paragraphs currently and illogically located under the section "Early life" should be moved to this new section. ALSO, "J.G. Kulp" in the military section...odd, as "J.G." are apparently not her initials. Unclemikejb ( talk) 14:56, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
The "J. G." is simply a reference to her military rank: lieutenant (junior grade). 65.79.173.130 ( talk) 00:38, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
The article references analysis from The New York Times stating Miss Kulp ran with a favorable condition for Democrats. This reference is useless, and the New York Times should not be a reference for what happened in Central Pennsylvania. Bud Shuster would have won by 30 points with or without Buddy Ebsen doing a spot for him. Rural Central Pennsylvania is very conservative, Republicans had enjoyed a very large registration advantage for decades--and still do, and Miss Kulp had positions very far to the left of the population. I would recommend researching the Altoona Mirror for more informed analysis of this election. Weyandt ( talk) 19:17, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

The dark-haired woman in the photograph is Sharon Tate wearing a wig. She played Janet Trego, the secretary, in several Beverly Hillbillies episodes. Kathy Kersh played a character named Marion Billington (per IMDb entry for the episode "The Giant Jack-Rabbit". In this clip from the show from 1 minute 25 seconds to about 1 minute 40 seconds, a young blonde woman appears and is addressed as "Miss Billington". Rossrs ( talk) 13:35, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
The alma mater information should appear in her title block, it would be a nice touch, as most people have no idea how educated she was.-- Oracleofottawa ( talk) 01:49, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
The Good Conduct Medal is only awarded to enlisted personnel. Since, according to the article, she was a Lieutenant (junior grade), she would not have received this award. Also, the article could be expanded to include more about her WWII service (if it is available). Kb butler ( talk) 01:52, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
She also appeared in another episode of Perry Mason (aired 5/15/59) called "The Case of the Deadly Toy". I don't have a reference, other than I just watched it on Apple TV. 2602:306:3B60:80A0:D0E6:FB9E:8EA8:7D0 ( talk) 22:56, 31 August 2016 (UTC)Erich Blase
Although Kulp served in the United States Navy during World War II era, no reliable sources found as of yet state that she served overseas during the war.

I am reverting your edit on Nancy Kulp that used Find A Grave as a source. I don't know the basis for your description of Find A Grave as "credible", but WP:USERGENERATED specifies Find A Grave as one of several "unacceptable user-generated sites". Eddie Blick ( talk) 18:20, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

Culp was on Betty White's "Lide with Elizabeth". Don't see it in her filmography. 2603:6081:8304:3100:C590:DC0F:997D:950F ( talk) 08:25, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
