Loretta Swit left her mark on television after playing the witty, charming, and fun head nurse Major Margaret «Hot Lips» Houlihan in the series M*A*S*H. Naturally, as an actor gets more and more roles, their net worth increases, which happened with Swit. But in May 2025, the actress passed away at the age of 87, and her former colleagues and loved ones mourned her departure.
Read on to learn more about Swit’s career, legacy, net worth, and death.
Swit is best remembered for her role as Major Margaret «Hot Lips» Houlihan in M*A*S*H throughout all 11 seasons. She also appeared in numerous film projects, including «Stand and Deliver», - «Police Woman», - «Race with the Devil», - and «The Forest Warrior». As for television work, Swit appeared in episodes of «Hawaii Five-0», - «Mission: Impossible», - «Smoke», - «Bonanza», - «The Love Boat», - and «Hollywood Squares».
It is presumed that Swit died of natural causes, but the report from the medical examiner’s office is not yet complete, according to NBC News.
Although M*A*S*H likely contributed to her wealth, Swit appeared in numerous film and television roles throughout her decades-long career. At the time of her death, her net worth was $ 4 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
Swit was married to her ex-husband, Dennis Holahan, from 1983 to 1995. Holahan appeared in an episode of M*A*S*H alongside Swit. After their marriage ended, Swit made it clear that she was «not interested in marriage» during a 1979 interview with People magazine.
«I have a career, friends, and things I want to do», - Swit said. «I don’t need a lot of other demands. And thanks to [M*A*S*H co-star] Alan, who has a deep understanding of women, I no longer feel guilty about not wanting a family. My parents and friends are my family».
Swit also noted that «sexist insults» happened to many women, including her co-star in the film «Stand and Deliver», - Jacqueline «Jackie» Bisset.
«I realized that sexist insults even happened to beautiful, wonderful people like Jackie, when one venomous columnist wrote that she would like an engagement ring from Michael Sarrazin for Christmas», - Swit said. «Jackie was humiliated. It was so stupid because she just didn’t want to get married. A few months ago, I encountered something similar. I was dating a man in New York [broker Dick Farwell], and people kept asking if we were going to get married — as if it was my last chance, and I was dying to do it. Unfortunately, he told someone that he considered it inevitable».
No, Swit did not have children of her own
