Never knew that she was almost Cagney on Cagney and Lacey. She was in the pilot but left due to her commitment to do MASH.
This sucks. A favorite from my all-time favorite show.

Hotlips Houlahan was even a Bombshell to my pre teen self.
RIP Ms Switt
Curious,...in her final hours did she bother to tell anyone,..... why Frank?? I mean come on... Trapper, Hawkeye...both better catches...and if she wanted the little boy phenotype, Radar was a much nicer person.
Why Frank???

From the movie, Hot Lips was a strak, military brat and Frank Burns, although a lousy surgeon, was also straight arrow military and hated the shenanigans of Hawkey, Trapper et all. That's what brought them together.
