Loretta Swit, best known for playing Major Margaret “Hot Lips” Houlihan on “MASH,” died Friday at her home in New York City at the age of 87.
Swit’s representative, Harlan Boll, said the New York police reported her time of death at 12:01 p.m. Friday, according to Variety. It is believed the actress died of natural causes, according to the outlet.
The two-time Emmy-award winning actress also appeared as Major Houlihan on the 1975 variety special “Rickles” and “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” in 1983. Her talents spanned across television and the live stage.
Swit’s long list of credits include the made-for television movie “The Execution” and guest appearances on shows including “The Love Boat,” “Murder, She Wrote,” and “Diagnosis Murder,” in 1988, which was her last stint on TV, according to Variety.
She made her small screen debut in 1969 with multiple appearances on “Hawaii Five-O,” and roles in “Mission: Impossible,” “Mannix,” “Gunsmoke,” “Bonanza,” “Ironside” and “Love, American Style.”
It was a pretty good show.
