Emmy-winning actress Loretta Swit, famous for her role as Major Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan in the TV series "M*A*S*H," passed away at 87. Swit, who took over the role from Sally Kellerman, brought a nuanced and sympathetic portrayal to the initially unlikeable character. Her performance earned her ten consecutive Emmy nominations, with two wins. The show, which ran from 1972 to 1983, depicted a mobile army hospital during the Korean War, showcasing Swit's character's complex personal and professional life.
