Loretta Swit
Anybody who grew up with a television in the 1970s knows M*A*S*H, the hit war comedy-drama television series, and in which case, most certainly remembers Major Margaret, played by Loretta Swit. Not everybody knows that before Swit began acting in front of the camera, she had actually been acting for a number of years already in theater. Swit also received her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1989.
