- Head Nurse Major Margaret “Hot Lips” Houlihan (Loretta Swit)

TRIVIA NOTE: The exterior shots for the series
were filmed at Malibu Canyon Creek State Park (Fox Ranch) that was donated by
Twentieth Century-Fox to the State of California. A portion of the park burned
down in a brush fire during the filming of the series finale and so the script
writers incorporated the disaster into the final script “Goodbye,
Farewell and Amen.”
