BE A Cadet Nurse: Beulah Tyler - Then and Now I A Tribute to Nurse Beulah Tyler from the movie "Story of G.I. Joe"

A Heartfelt Tribute to Nurse Beulah Tyler: A True Hollywood Heroine

Prepare to be captivated by the incredible story of Nurse Beulah Tyler, a remarkable actress whose journey to stardom may have been overlooked, but whose spirit and resilience deserve our utmost admiration.

In 1945, the filmmakers of "Story of G.I. Joe" recognized Beulah's talent and hired her as an extra to portray a nurse in this iconic movie. With unwavering dedication, Beulah embarked on a courageous journey across the country to Hollywood, ready to bring her character to life.

Sadly, fate had other plans. Despite her hard work and commitment, Beulah's scenes were ultimately cut from the final version of the film. Yet, we believe that every artist deserves recognition for their contribution, no matter how small it may seem.

As we look back at the before photos of Beulah with her fellow cast members, one thing becomes abundantly clear - her radiant smile is truly timeless. Whether capturing moments of joy or displaying unwavering resilience in the face of disappointment, Beulah's smile shines through every frame.

Today, we take a moment to honor Nurse Beulah Tyler for embodying courage and determination not only on-screen but also in her pursuit of dreams. Though her name may not be widely known, she has left an indelible mark on our hearts.

Let us remember that behind every great production are countless unsung heroes like Nurse Beulah Tyler - individuals who pour their hearts into their craft without always receiving the recognition they deserve. They serve as a reminder that true passion transcends any role or screen time limitation.

Join us in celebrating the spirit of Nurse Beulah Tyler and all those whose contributions have shaped the world of cinema. Let us cherish their stories and forever hold them close as beacons of inspiration.

With heartfelt gratitude,

The Admirers of Nurse Beulah Tyler

Dear Chet,

I believe that I added the last photo of my mother on my Beulah Tyler:

Flickr website soon after her 98th birthday (which was Christmas Day, 2022). My husband and I visited her in March 2023 - she was doing quite well, telling stories, walking with her rolling walker. We had her over for dinner several nights in our AirBnB. In May we made plans to drive from our home in Indiana to see her again in Pennsylvania, but early in June her health declined rapidly. She died peacefully on June 7th, 2023. She was almost 98 and a half years old. I had even bought a "half birthday" card for her! We're having what we are calling "a gathering" (she didn't want a funeral!) to bury her ashes on September 22nd in Staunton, Virginia at Thornrose Cemetery.

Ah, it's the end of an era, isn't it? So many WWII veterans and supporters have died. I want to thank you again for sending me the "Story of GI Joe" publicity photos to give to her. And for your kind interest and well wishes extended to my mom.

I wish you and your family all the best

Wendy Settle, daughter of ex-Cadet Nurse Beulah Tyler"

Side Note: Beulah was just as beautiful in 1945 as she was at 98 years of age.  What an amazing blessing she has been to her family and me, even though I never met her.
