Loretta Swit, the Emmy-winning actor most well-known for her leading role on “M*A*S*H,” has died, her representative said Friday.
She was 87.
Swit died at her home in New York City just after noon Friday, her team said in a statement, citing a police report. It is suspected she died of natural causes, but a report from the coroner’s office is still pending.
Swit portrayed the quick-witted Maj. Margaret Houlihan on one of TV’s most honored series and collected a number of awards for the “M*A*S*H” role, including two Emmys. She was nominated for 10 Emmys and four Golden Globes.
Her sensuous, sensitive, comedic character was also known as “Hot Lips.”
