Sally Kellerman, the original Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan in the 1970 Robert Altman film "M*A*S*H*," died Thursday from heart failure, her manager and publicist Alan Eichler confirmed to USA TODAY. She was 84. Kellerman earned an Oscar nomination for best supporting actress for her stand-out Houlihan role in the army comedy, which also starred Donald Sutherland and Elliot Gould. Loretta Swit took the role over in the popular TV version of "M*A*S*H*," which ran from 1972 to 1983. The "Hot Lips" role had a lasting impact on Kellerman's career. But the actress told The Desert Sun, part of the USA TODAY Network, in 2013 that she feared she would be looked at as "a one-trick pony." That was far from the case, for a career that spanned over 60 years, including attaining cult status for her memorable starring role in an early episode of "Star Trek" in 1966, titled "Where No Man Has Gone Before." Kellerman portrayed Dr. Elizabeth Dehner, a human Starfleet officer on the USS Enterprise. The actress starred in the 1986 Rodney Dangerfield comedy "Back to School" and in a slew of Altman films including 1970's "Brewster McCloud," 1992's "The Player," 1994's "Prêt-à-Porter" and "Ready to Wear."
