As quick-witted,
impassioned Major Margaret Houlihan of television’s most honored series, M*A*S*H, Loretta Swit became an American icon
and with its popularity now in worldwide syndication. New fans continue
to enjoy her lavish portrayal of the sensuous, sensitive, comedic Major
Houlihan. She has an extensive, Broadway, television and movie
background and is as impassioned about animals as she is about theatre.
