She worked with veterans a lot. A good woman, RIP.
RIP, Hot Lips.

The first few seasons were great. Didn’t care for how her character “glammed-up” as time went on.
Same. Never knew she was 30 years older.
I also liked watching her on Password Plus and $25000 Pyramid as she was one of the better celebrity players on shows like that.
Exactly. It got off to a great start until all tough soldiers were getting humiliated.
“Once the show became politically correct, and no longer funny, I stopped watching. Everything is like that now, only worse.”
I’m sure the downturn was all Alan Alda’s doing
It was at the moment that the show became politically correct that it seemed like the actors were just standing around reading their lines from the script. Like they were bored with the show.
Could be. Too many leftist libs spoil the… well pretty much anything. It seemed like the writers couldn’t decide whether to keep it as a comedy, or change it into a serious drama about the tragedies of war and the importance of treating everyone with respect (except the war mongers). Some shows just run too long, beyond their usefulness, while others get the axe too soon and no one knows why.
I was just thinking about “that long ago” I was in college and we watched MASH reruns before the chow hall opened for dinner. Now I am retired. That is a long time.
