💔 On May 30, 2025, the curtain quietly fell on the life of Loretta Swit, who passed away at 87. To millions, she was Major Margaret “Hot Lips” Houlihan of MASH*—a role that began as a stereotype but, through her determination and talent, grew into one of the most nuanced, human portrayals of women on television. She infused Margaret with strength, vulnerability, and dignity, forever changing how female characters were written.

🌟 Off-screen, Loretta lived with the same depth she brought to her work. She was a tireless advocate for animals, founding the SwitHeart Animal Alliance, and used her voice to defend causes close to her heart—veterans, kindness, and the healing power of storytelling. She painted, wrote, and inspired generations, proving that artistry is not confined to a single medium.

🏆 With two Emmy Awards and countless admirers, Loretta could have rested on fame. But for her, life was never about spotlights—it was about purpose. Her legacy is not just the laughter and tears she brought on screen, but the compassion she carried into the world.

🙏 In her final moments, revisiting the series that defined her career, Loretta Swit left us not with silence, but with echoes—of courage, of heart, of humanity. She reminded us that the greatest roles are not just played, but lived. Rest in peace, Loretta. Your impact will never fade. 🌹
