Emmy-Winning M*A*S*H Actress Loretta Swit Dies Age 87
Loretta Swit, the Emmy-winning actress best known for her role as Major Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan on the iconic TV series M*A*S*H, has died at the age of 87, likely from natural causes. She appeared in 240 of the 251 episodes during the show's 11-year run from 1972 to 1983, earning 10 Emmy nominations and winning twice. Swit's character evolved from a one-dimensional stereotype in the original film to a strong, complex woman, largely due to her influence and the era's growing feminist awareness. M*A*S*H remains one of TV's most celebrated series, noted for its humor and profound commentary on war, with its finale drawing over 100 million viewers. Swit was also an accomplished stage and film actress and an animal activist. Fans and colleagues have paid tribute to her legacy and impact on television history.
