Sally Kellerman

Yeah.

And which we also haven't pointed out, too, is that, uh, Rodney Dangerfield has a love interest in Sally Kellerman-

Oof

... who's just so cute and has like the greatest voice in cinema history maybe in this movie.

Fuck me.

Fuck you.

[laughs] Well, it's also, I was thinking about Sally Kellerman's part is why, I think that's kind of an interesting read of all their stuff together is she's the one thing he actually learns at school, which is like he learns a little about English.

She says, "You don't, don't watch the movie." It's like you need to connect with the text to realize that you felt the same thing.

Uh, let's see.

In July 2nd, 1937, Sally Kellerman was born.

Uh, MASH, uh, that was a big thing for her.

Jerry Mathers, we talked about Leave It to Beaver the other day.

While a Bravo spokesperson denies a crackdown, crackdown at the network, The Mole dishes, "Bravo has made millions from chaos, but Nathan's firing is the warning shot.

NBC Universal is finally saying there are limits." Our next article, Kellerman Kid in a Scottish Dog Fight.

Claire Kellerman, the adopted daughter of actress Sally Kellerman, who played the original Hot Lips Houlihan in the 1970s movie MASH, has made an enemy of an entire Scottish island in a peeing match over her dog.

The 61-year-old daughter of the big screen beauty, who died in 2022 at the age of 84, pooped on her neighbors on the remote island of Great Bernera, which has a population of fewer than 250 people, by taking a local cafe to court when, after her Australian cattle dog was denied entrance.

Well, that's the thing that we never really figure out.

It seems like Sally Kellerman's Louise is controlling the birds, and she somehow...

It seems to me like she somehow has the power to... have everyone appear that they've been strangled somehow without them actually being strangled like that's the kind of weird magic realist element to this movie that's not really explained and and like that's fine it doesn't have to be but it i like it's it's i don't think it's it's harold that's that's the strangler i think it's louise that's doing it like she's

If anything, it's also Brewster himself that represents the very animalistic tendencies that already exist within ourselves, but he's just trying to enact on them so much faster than anybody else would.

And yes, so I might send him, ask him to go and watch MASH and tell us what he thinks.

The scene where, I mean, a famous scene where Hot Lips, played by Sally Kellerman, is showering and the wall on the tent is dropped so that the whole camp can see her in the shower.

now does feel like oh right right how many of these people do we have to call marshall you know that's that's a number of hr violations right there i mean she's

consistently the very fact that she's called hot lips is she's consistently a victim of what would now be now be called slut shaming

yeah i mean there's a there's a there's an amazing line you know the nicest thing that anyone says to her is you're a pain in the ass hot lips but you're a hell of a nurse it doesn't get any better than that I

think it's interesting that Sally Kellerman who played Hot Lips was the only member of the cast to be nominated for an acting Oscar

and it's vanishingly rare

for women in comedy films to be nominated for an acting Oscar.

But I just wanna say I've been to Arkansas.

My dear friend Sally Kellerman was from the other side of the state in Portland, Arkansas.

And then, uh, I wrote a movie called Three for the Road, which got made [laughs] in Little Rock with Charlie Sheen and Alan Ruck.

And so I did, I did come down and I got to visit the set, and I got to have some of the best catfish I've ever had in my life, so I'm a fan.

And I thought, "Oh, that's great." And so we did a two-hour show and, um, I had never, I don't think I'd ever done this before, but she was asking me about what I was doing as of late, and it was doing guided meditations with people, where I'm sure you're familiar with the term.

I had just finished filming, I filmed about 200 hypnosis sessions with, uh, Michael Newton-trained hypnotherapists, and others, where people were saying the same things about the afterlife.

And of course when I first came across Michael's work, I thought, "Is this possible? What's going on?" Um, and as you mentioned in the intro, it, my close friend Luana Anders, an actress, been in over 100 movies and TV shows, she passed away and started visiting me.

And at first I thought, "Well, that must be my imagination, wishful thinking." But then, uh, she started showing up to other people that I know, and they would say the same things.

Like if they, if they kept pushing them, that's where the, that's where the, the conflict.

And then the same thing with Sally Kellerman's character.

Like she, she was a foil.

She was a, she is the opposite to them.

yeah it'll be a blast

so I think that kind of wraps up everything I need to say about MASH but unless there's anything we didn't touch on

no I think we covered everything I mean you know they should have listened to us in 1970 if they'd taken our notes of like keeping bigger part for Michael Murphy and keeping keeping Duvall in the picture a little bit longer and giving Sally Kellerman more of a well-rounded character this would have been a five star picture but I do I do love like it's I agree with all the points that you talk about.

They're all my misgivings about it as well.

Yeah.

Sally Kellerman is Diane, one of the professors.

She was the original Hot Lips O'Houlihan in the MASH movie from 1970.

That's why I recognize her.

Like, you look him up, half his pictures are the wide-eyed bulge.

He could have played Igor instead of Marty Feldman.

As mentioned, Sally Kellerman.

It's Frankenstein.

Shatner, again, not a recast, new character.

But I think this episode sticks in a lot of people's minds, not for really what it's about, but because Sally Kellerman's in it.

Yeah.

She's Dr. Daner.

And you've got Gary Lockwood from freaking 2001.

I mean, freaking mash hot lips, hula hand for Sally Kellerman.

And then you've got Gary Lockwood from 2001 in it as Gary Mitchell.

That really stands out in my mind.
