LORETTA SWIT | 84

American actress Loretta Swit came to the limelight when she portrayed the role of Major Margaret “Hot Lips” Houlihan in the war comedy-drama TV series, M*A*S*H. Her performance earned her two Emmy Awards. Swit was also a Broadway performer and trained at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. She starred in the plays The Mystery of Edwin Drood and Same Time, Next Year, and wrote books such as the 1986 A Needlepoint Scrapbook.

Swit’s most recent film appearance was in the 2019 film, Play the Flute. The actress has had a long and exhaustive resume filled with film and TV projects. We hope that she has been wise with her earnings and finances and that she’s currently reaping the benefits of her past investments. For her keen work in the Chicago theatre, she was given the Sarah Siddons Award. Swit also received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1989.
