Sally Kellerman was always Hot Lips to me, but she was pretty good for TV. RIP Loretta.

Sad news.

 

As much as I love M*A*S*H, Hot Lips was probably my least favorite character. She had some good funny moments, yet she was lauded for being a strong female character.

 

I'm sorry, but yelling and screaming doesn't make you strong, it makes you loud.

When I was a kid, i thought MASH was so "cool" and "with it".

 

Now I watch it, and it is painful.

 

They have three genre of jokes:

 

1) Puns, really bad puns especially spoken by Alan Alda.

2) The military sucks, incompetent, unfeeling only by the mighty bombastic, self righteous hospital workers.

3) Periodically a funny joke or thought provoking situation arises.

 

Overall the series is dreadful for me now and they ALL scream their lines, especially Harry Potter.  Gross over reacting

And I agree with the above, Saly  Kellerman was the real hot lips.

She was also the original Cagney on the "pilot" of Cagney and Lacey. It was originally  a made for TV movie and when it was picked up as a series, they had to recast the character with Sharon Gless.
