FOG BLOG ENTERTAINMENT LOG: SALLY KELLERMAN WHO STARRED IN MASH MOVIE DIES AT 84!

Sally Kellerman, who played ‘Hot Lips’ Houlihan in ‘M.A.S.H.’ movie, dies at 84...She also starred in 'Back to School’ with Rodney Dangerfield and appeared in an early ‘Star Trek’ episode......Sally Kellerman, an elegant, sultry-voiced actress and singer who earned an Oscar nomination for playing the strait-laced Army nurse Margaret “Hot Lips” Houlihan in Robert Altman’s movie “M.A.S.H.,” died Feb. 24 at an assisted-living home in the Woodland Hills section of Los Angeles. She was 84. She had dementia, said her manager and publicist Alan Eichler.

Toggling between dramatic roles and quirky, free-spirited comedic parts, Ms. Kellerman appeared in more than 150 movies and television shows, in addition to pursuing a career as a cabaret singer and recording artist. She appeared in one of the first “Star Trek” episodes, as a ship psychiatrist who develops psychic abilities, and starred as an English teacher courted by comedian Rodney Dangerfield — “Why don’t you call me sometime, when you have no class?” — in the 1986 movie “Back to School.”
