Results from a near-infrared study of a complete hard X-ray selected sample of AGN, which are mainly Seyfert 1s, are presented. The method used to deconvolve the radial luminosity profiles into nuclear, bulge, and disk components is described. It is found that, for many Seyferts in this sample, starlight contributes a significant fraction of the light from the nuclear region, even within a small projected aperture. The stellar fraction tends to increase as the intrinsic luminosity decreases. Therefore corrections must be made to remove the stellar light to study the properties of the nonstellar continuum.
