I love how much Margaret grew during the series. Especially given the time this show aired. MASH was a trailblazer in a lot of ways and showing that it's ok to have a female lead that can be equally strong and vulnerable at times was a pretty important one. I for one never saw Margaret as weak. Not once. And Loretta played the part perfectly.
I will add that Margaret was also beautiful and maintained her feminity, which is unheard of today in all these shows with "strong female" leads or girl boss figures that look and act like men. The only two female characters like Margaret imo were Brenda Leigh Johnson from The Closer and Fiona Glenanne from Burn Notice.
What a super character! She started off being one of the 'bad guys' so to speak and grew as the series went along. One of my favorite aspects of Margaret was her tent. Even though she was raised in the Army and a career officer, her tent was still very ladylike and highly personalized. I've been deployed myself many times and even when you only have a tiny amount of space to live in, most folks tended to personalize it as much as they could. Much like Margaret did. Things that make being in even a combat zone more bearable.
1:07 I like how Hawke and BJ are watching the guy fall lol.
She did it all. Nurse, Officer, Leader, Fighter, Lover. Far Superior to the Hot Lips from the MASH movie.
Love the looks on Hawkeye's and BJ's face when she lays the guy out.
Loretta was quite versatile. I think she was the right choice, not only for the role of Margaret Hoolahan, but also for the mother in "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever".
Very true
@@ethelhoose1196 As a matter of fact, her character's name was Grace. I'm sure you know why.
“Who WAS that?” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've noticed in the last later seasons that Margaret wore several pretty, cute, and fashionable pajamas. Early seasons she wore only the army issued undershirts, pants, and shorts to bed. I believe that showd her character growth from strictly all military all the time (except with Frank) to letting her hair down more and becoming more friendly, understanding, and even fun when off duty. I also believe that sense in a military unit she rarely got to change out of her uniforms (3 or 4 exceptions), usually the only way both Margaret and actress Loretta Swif could be have some fun and for Margaret to fashionable and feminine clothing wise was with her pajamas and robes. And she had some really cute ones too.
Her speech in "The Nurses" was a crowning moment.
Won her an Emmy.
@@user-gz2it1te5r Actually, she won her 1st Emmy in 1980, which was two years after "The Nurses" aired. Better late than never.
From military hardass to loving mother figure of the 4077th.
We salute and praise you, Major!
Mother figure? I think Margaret would be insulted by that 😂 more like big sister.
Margaret was a true feminist! Modern audiences are sorely in need of characters like her in modern media.
Thanks for using Margaret in the title and not Hot Lips
I grew up watching this series, and man did I had a Gigantic Crush on Loretta.
She DOES have a mean right hook.
Hey guys what was the episode where Frank and Margaret were going at it and Klinger had the camp P.A. on? I wish someone would post that! Very funny!
Extremely complicated legacy , could be lovable and hated during the series !
True she's a fictional character but very realistic. The only explanation I can come up with as to way and how such an intelligent, independent, professional, wise, mature, and especially in the beginning a hidden heart of gold woman like Margaret could possibly fall for somebody like Frank Burns (Lorretta Swif also wonders that) is that Margaret was lonely and desperate, extremely desperate. It can happen, but I'm so glad she grew out of just being little more than a female Frank colon from the first season.
She was so freaking hot!
Agreed! I always wanted her to end up with Hawkeye romantically.
@@ashleyjustice3008 I like to believe that’s what happened to them after the events of the show. As much as I, as the kids call it, ship them, I’m quite glad they didn’t end up together over the course of the show. War is not the right setting to start a romantic relationship. If they had gotten together, I’m sure the relationship would have ended up in divorce, or Hawkeye would be in a position similar to BJ where he’d have a wife and baby back in the states and not see them for a long time. But I think the perfect closure for Hawkeye and Margaret could be a mention in AfterMASH, or something confirmed from Alan and/or Loretta because the two of them liked Hawkeye and Margaret together too.
@@jilliank6379 In my imagination after the war they do indeed get together. Margret gets Hawkeye into the military hospital. They rekindle their romance and get married. It lasts for about 20 years but eventually they drift apart and divorce when the kids are out of college. They remain friends until Hawkeye's death in 2000. Margret lives to 2010, a mother, grandmother and great grandmother.
Dont forget her birthday november 4th .
Did you ever once offer meva lousy cup of coffee??
The only true disappointment that I have with M.A.S.H. is that they didn't add another main female character to the group. I myself have invented one who appears in the middle of Season 8 and soon gets promoted to the main group. The closest the show can to a second regular female was Nurse Kellye, who finally started to get some much deserved recognition in Season 11, which should've started several seasons earlier, after being a semi-regular, mostly background and came character sense Season 1. She would've made an intersection addition to the main group. If they had started to flesh Kellye out a few seasons earlier, she may have been promoted to the main cast I'm sure.
That would not have been realistic for the time period M.A.S.H. was in. You didn't have many women if any at all in the service in the fifties. it just didn't happen. Plus the show was always more of a guy's show but Margaret brought a feminine touch to it.
