RIP Loretta Swit.
Her and Alan Aldas influence on the show after the first two seasons IMHO made it the gem that it became.
»Sally Kellerman played Houlihan in the movie version and Swit took it over for TV, eventually deepening and creating her into a much fuller character. …
The growing awareness of feminism in the ’70s spurred Houlihan’s transformation from caricature to real person, but a lot of the change was due to Swit’s influence on the scriptwriters.«

Loretta Swit, who won two Emmy Awards playing Major Margaret Houlihan, the demanding head nurse of a behind-the-lines surgical unit during the Korean War on the pioneering hit TV series “M.A.S.H.,” has died. She was 87.

Just saw an episode of #GoldenGirls, with McLean Stevenson as a guest star. Colonel Blake from #MASH4077 himself! 🥰
Curiously enough, his character here was also a surgeon. :)
Exactly! I mean how else am I going to order an artificial kidney machine from Sears & Roebuck?
