A little slow I believe it happened on Thursday or Friday but I heard “hot lips” Houlihan passed away. If you don’t know who that is, it is Lorette Swit famous for playing Major Margaret “hot lips” Houlihan on the TV show Mash.
She was 87 years old, it’s believed she died of natural causes. As of yet I have not seen any other reason for her death.
I remember watching Mash all the time and it was or may still be the longest continues running shows in history. It ran 11 seasons and went right into syndication stayed on the air somewhere for years and believe it might still be.

I watched it back in the 70s when Saturday night was the original “must-see TV,” with Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart, and Carol Burnett on after it.
Hard to believe there are four surviving principle actors left from that show, three of whom were in the first season (Alan Alda, Gary Burghoff, and Jamie Farr).

It still airs because my dad will watch it in some obscure channel at night. I never really liked that show (it was a tad before my time), but she was also in a movie I loved. I think it was called “The Best Little Christmas Pageant Ever”. It was such a cute movie. She was talented, that’s for sure.
