Sally Kellerman

Highest Rated: 92% Sesame Street Presents: Follow That Bird (1985)

Lowest Rated: 12% Delgo (2008)

Birthday: Jun 2, 1937

Birthplace: Long Beach, California, USA

A leading lady and character actress, Sally Kellerman possessed an assertive, forthright presence that could convey both easy earnestness and prominent paranoia. Although she made her film debut at age 20 in a bit role in "Reform School Girl" (1957), she first conquered TV in the mid-1960s with striking performances on shows including "The Outer Limits" and "Star Trek." She came to prominence in film in the 1970s, notably as Major 'Hot Lips' Houlihan in Robert Altman's "M*A*S*H" (1970), for which she received an Oscar nomination as Best Supporting Actress. She kept busy with off-beat roles in "The Last of the Red Hot Lovers" (1972), "Welcome to L.A." (1976), "A Little Romance" (1979), "Back to School" (1986) and "Happily Ever After" (1990). Her richly modulated, seductively velvety voice was also put to good use in much voice-over work and she has enjoyed a secondary career as a nightclub performer as well. Sally Kellerman died on February 24, 2022 in Woodland Hills, CA at the age of 84.
