Kellerman starred in Robert Altman’s 1970 classic war comedy after a decade in TV
Sally Kellerman, the Oscar-nominated actress who played Margaret “Hot Lips” Houlihan in the 1970 film “M*A*S*H,” has died in Woodland Hills at the age of 84. Her son, Jack Krane, told The Hollywood Reporter she had been battling dementia. A lifelong Southern California native, Kellerman got her start in showbiz in the 1960s in a variety of television roles, including a bit role on the “Twilight Zone” episode “Miniature” and cameos on episodes of “Bonanza” and “Mannix.” But her biggest role that decade was in “Where No Man Has Gone Before,” the second pilot episode of “Star Trek” that set the foundation for the sci-fi series to become one of the biggest TV shows ever aired.
