Sally Kellerman passed away on Thursday at age 84 from complications of dementia following a stay in assisted living. Kellerman was a Hollywood stalwart, regularly working in television and film for over sixty years. Today, her friends, fans, and fellow stars took to social media to remember the iconic actor and singer.
Kellerman received praise for her Oscar-nominated role of Major Margaret “Hot Lips” Houlihan in Robert Altman’s M*A*S*H and opposite Rodney Dangerfield in Back to School, as well as Television roles in Star Trek, American Virgin, and Maron. She went on to appear in two more Altman projects; the quirky black comedy Brewster McCloud and a cameo performance in his star-studded satire on the film industry, The Player. Kellerman was nearly in Altman’s surreal Country and Western send-up Nashville as well, but it didn’t work out. Kellerman recounted in her memoir, Read my Lips: Stories of a Hollywood Life, “Bob called me one day at home. “Sally, do you want to be in my picture after next?” he asked. ‘Only if it’s a good part,’ I said. He hung up on me.”
