Best known for playing Hot Lips Houlihan in the movie version of MAS*H. She was 84.
I guess she finally resigned her commission.
RIP, Sally.
As per a story in The Hollywood Reporter:
I saw her, briefly, on campus when I was attending the University of Wisconsin in 1985, while she was filming exterior scenes for the movie Back to School.
Oh Frank!
84! A fine actor!
People keep getting old and dying. It makes me sad and they all need to stop.
I saw her in an episode of That Girl just last week. She was in the second Star Trek pilot too.
She played a nurse in an episode of Dream On back in the ‘90s. She was still smokin’ hot!
RIP.
I remember Sally from Star Trek. She was very good in that role.
RIP
The first thing I think of when I think of Sally Kellerman is the Rodney Dangerfield movie Back To School.
She played Latka’s mother on Taxi. Very hilarious scene.
“Latka, America is a terrible place! They have toilets inside their homes. They keep dogs as pets and eat chickens.”
I second this.
Thsat was Susan Kellermann
Wow! All these years I thought it was Sally Kellerman.
I’d like to think she’s up in heaven right now with Rodney Dangerfield where they both have no class.
Huh???
I didn’t know about this, either, but googling tells me that, on their 1976 album “Born to Die,” there is a song, “Sally,” which was written by Grand Funk singer/guitarist Mark Farner, who was dating Kellerman at the time.
She was awesome in Brewster McCloud (1970): avian, mysterious, unexplained and gorgeous. She was rather less impressive in The Boston Strangler (1968) as a victim. Along with her appearance on Star Trek: TOS, those are the roles I mostly associate with her.
Does anybody else fondly remember wearing out the pause button when watching MASH on a VCR for the first time?
These are the first two roles I think of for her. Hot Lips third as I associate that character far more with Loretta Swit.
Robert Altman used her in many movies as I recall. MAS*H of course, but also Ready To Wear, The Player, Brewster McCloud & Welcome to LA.
She played Jodie Foster’s mother in “Foxes” (1980). Worth seeing just for her.
Oh wow I never realized that was her.
