Loretta Swit, who won two Emmy awards for her role on the popular comedy TV series MASH, died on Friday, according to her representative.

She died at her home in New York at the age of 87, the BBC's news partner CBS reported, citing a statement from her representative. It likely died of natural causes, although a coroner's report is pending.

On MASH, Swit played the Army nurse Major Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan. The series, which followed the fortunes of a mobile army surgical hospital during the Korean War, ran for 11 seasons from 1974 to 1983.

Swit was nominated for numerous awards, and appeared in nearly every episode of the series, including the finale which attracted a record 106m US viewers.

I liked her and the character but always thought she was kind of odd looking.

RIP

Hard to believe that even in 1975, she was already 37.

I never watched MASH, but I remember when Kermit fired Miss Piggy from The Muppet Show, and replaced her with Loretta. Needless to say, Piggy didn't take it well.

Thankfully this is one show they haven't tried to remake, I used to watch it anytime it was on.
