Signature / Unsigned Color Photograph

The two-time Emmy Award-winning actress is remembered as Major Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan from the series "M*A*S*H" (1972-83) -- her and Alan Alda the only cast members appearing in the entire run from pilot episode through finale. Exceptionally large signature in red fineline on a heavy stock 5" X 3" card, dated by her 28 December 1975 at upper right and also bearing a pink rubberstamped lip print placed there by her. Fine. With original transmittal envelope bearing the same rubberstamped lip print on verso. Accompanied by a superb heavy stock glossy 10" X 8" color photograph, a "M*A*S*H" closeup of a smiling "Hot Lips" in civilian garb with Army housing in background. The earliest dated Swit signature weve seen, dated from "M*A*S*H"s early years and with lip print rubberstamp she apparently only used briefly.
