    Sad! She was a decent actress even if "hot lips" was somewhat of a
    caricature of a role. Reading that article I'm reminded M.A.S.H.
    lasted eleven years, longer than the actual war.

    We've been stuck with Alan Alda ever since.

    Rest in peace Loretta.

    What? Sally Kellerman was Maj. Margaret 'Hot Lips' O'Houlihan.

    Oh, the TV show, not the movie.

    Korean War still hasn't ended, but I know what you mean. The fighting was
    only three years or so.

    We've been stuck with Alan Alda ever since.

    He is smuggly annoying, isn't he.
