She had a long life.
M*A*S*H* is one of my favourite YV shows.

Another iconic television figure dies, last week Norm…Hot Lips was a bitch and Loretta Swit played the role well
Actually the character did a face turn during the run and became part of Hawkeye's team.

Swit had the most developed role on the show.

In her role as "Hot Lips" she was adept at switching from scenes where she was a hard ass to scenes that called for sensitivity and vulnerability. I'm particularly thinking of an episode where the nurses confront her for being unfeeling and she breaks down and admits she felt hurt because they didn't include her in their social activities. If I find the clip I'll post it. RIP.

I found the clip. A moving performance. Bravo!!

That happened when Hawkeye and Margaret were commandeered to become front line medics. After that Margaret Houlihan became more compassionate.
