LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: ABC's 'The Golden Bachelor' contestant Nancy Hulkower is a sixty-year-old retired interior designer hailing from Alexandria, Virginia. She was married to prominent Washington lawyer Mark J Hulkower.

Mark was born in the Bronx, New York. He graduated from Cornell University and functioned as the editor of the law journal at Georgetown University's Law School.

He rose to prominence during his 1989-1995 tenure as an assistant US attorney responsible for the Eastern District of Virginia. He was instrumental in landing convictions in three high-profile legal battles, including the case of Marine Frank Nesbitt, who was accused of passing on state secrets to Russia.

Owing to his distinguished legal service, he was handpicked to be the Justice Department's prosecutor in the espionage case against the CIA defector Aldrich Ames and his wife.

After his public service, Mark established his own legal firm Steptoe and Johnson LLC, leading the firm's white-collar criminal defense group.

Mark died at the age of 53 in 2011 after succumbing to colon cancer. Following her husband's death, Nancy started a cancer foundation in his honor.
