One of the first things I saw her in was Foxes as Jodie Foster's mom. Really good movie.

The original novel upon which the movie was based, "Mash--A Novel About Three Army Doctors," was ghost-written by none other than W.C. Heinz, who wrote "Death of a Racehorse".

True fact that I can reveal in her death: Sally made many thousands of dollars as a leading Hollywood insider for the tabloid Star Magazine.

Mostly surprised she was a born and raised in SoCal. Always figured she had some mishmash of accents from a childhood spent in various parts of the globe.

This is no shot at Loretta Swit, who made a career out of it. But I have always thought that Kellerman was the sexier Hot Lips.

Am I the only philistine who watched the series first and found the movie painfully unfunny?

I’m born in 1971 so that was my experience, and I wasn’t a fan. The football game went on for 30 minutes I swear.

I would say the surgeons were closer to Hooker’s view though.

Robert Altman was asked about the TV show and said he preferred the movie but the one thing he wished the movie had was Klinger
