Loretta Swit was also the original "Cagney" from Cagney & Lacey! Swit & Daly were in the pilot movie together. Swit was to continue but was contractually obligated to continuing with M*A*S*H and its producers wouldn't release her. The role then went to Meg Foster (another underrated actress I like) for its first season only.

Swit mainly worked in television, but she never phoned it in.

RIP.

I thought they handled the Hawkeye/Hot Lips relationship well on that show. There was a sexual chemistry that could (mostly) not be acted on, but there was a deep mutual respect as well despite being at odds with each other constantly. Not that easy to pull off convincingly in a sitcom format.

Actually, Winchester was probably my favorite character. Fish out of water.

She was an excellent replacement for Sally Kellerman from the film...and had the best butt on TV.

Just seen this. Very sad news. That show was hot (lips) over here as well, Jim. In fact, my favourite TV show of all time.

RIP to a wonderful actress and icon.

Simon House, Keyboard player and violinist with High Tide then Hawkwind for many years and a notable session player and touring member of David Bowie's band has died aged 77.
His work and musicianship with Hawkwind took them to another level and their albums and live work were, without doubt, the very best of their career. The tour they did with him back on keyboards and violin (with Bridget Wishart) in 1990 was an absolute return to form. A colourful character and a superb musician who will be very much missed. RIP Simon.

Hi,

With the sad fact that the bunch of folks that run the Vatican are the least "Catholic" of any one you and I have ever met. And many of them did not like the ideas that Francis brought out, because it meant that the big name Cardinals would become less important ... and bring the church away from its musk'ian bosses! They want the control ... and they don't really care about anything else ... and the abuse of women and keeping them secondary within the church will continue ... it will never improve until more women are involved, and some of the Cardinals are gone! This church is in danger of falling out of time and place, and render itself worthless! Francis knew that it could not be all about their ideology and ignore everyone else like us!
