  1. I was looking at her IMDB profile. I didn’t realize it but she was in just about every TV show of my youth; Doobie Gillis, My 3 Sons, Star Trek, I Spy, The Twilight Zone, 12 Oclock High.

    Yes, she had a sultry aura about her.

  2. The series went on for far too many seasons. Alan Alda was way too likable for Hawkeye compared to Donald Southerland. Klinger bit was overdone. Today, Klinger would be considered normal and the surgeons would have done the surgical mutulation.
    One of my favorite interchanges in the movie was when Hot Lips questioned how a degenerate like Hawkeye got into the Army and the priest replied, “He was drafted.”

  3. Loretta Swit was great in Mash in it’s early days. But when she dyed her hair platinum gray and cut it to look like she was wearing a helmet all the time, her humor died out with the show as it descended into being a half hour of mauldlin.

  4. Hot Lips Houlihan redeemed herself after Major Frank Burns gave her the sobriquet of “Hot Lips” during that memorable moment of coitus interruptus, when she took up with Captain Augustus Bedford “Duke” Forrest. Best shower scene in a Korean War movie ever!

    Godspeed, Sally Kellerman.

  5. “Back To School”, When Rodney Dangerfield cried out “Yes, Yes”!!! during the poetry reading. I couldn’t have agreed more! Sally Kellerman was incredibly sexy in that role. She wasn’t beautiful, but she certainly had an aura about her.

  6. Anonymous: ” Today, Klinger would be considered normal and the surgeons would have done the surgical mutulation.”

    The joke was that Klinger was only wearing women’s clothing to PRETEND to be insane in order to get a medical discharge. He wasn’t actually insane, he wasn’t gay, and he didn’t think he was female. He was just a regular guy going to extremes to try and get himself out of a bad situation. He certainly wasn’t trying to get his junk whacked off.

    A character trying that today would be forced into sensitivity training and/or court-martialed for for commiting a hate crime against transsexuals.
