M*A*S*H legend Loretta Swit made glamorous career move just three months before she died


M*A*S*H legend Loretta Swit made one last glamour career move just months before her death at age 87.

The original Robert Altman film was a dark comedy that starred Donald Sutherland as Hawkeye Pierce, Elliot Gould as Trapper John McIntyre and Sally Kellerman as Hot Lips Houlihan, based on the 1968 novel MASH: A Novel About Three Army Doctors. She admitted there was nothing inherently funny about war, but added, 'you needed the funniest people in the world to make this believable and this cast exceeded that and more.' Loretta also starred in Hawaii Five-O, Mission: Impossible (1970), Mannix, The Love Boat, The Muppet Show, Cagney & Lacey, Murder, She Wrote, Beer, Whoops Apocalypse and Beach Movie to name a few.
