Loretta Swit's "Proprietary Relationship" with Wildlife

TVC 693.2: Part 2 of our January 2017 conversation with Loretta Swit about her lifelong interest in watercolor painting, her “proprietary relationship” with wildlife, her vast stage career (including her then-recent portrayal of former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt), and a few questions about M*A*S*H, including Loretta's deep respect for real-life nurses; "The Nurses," the famous episode, written by Linda Bloodworth-Thompson and directed by Joan Darling, that forever changed the trajectory of the character of Major Margaret Houlihan; and the woman on whom Loretta based her portrayal of Margaret. Loretta Swit passed away on Friday, May 30 at the age of eighty-seven.

All proceeds from sales of Loretta’s book, SwitHeart, her SwitHeart greeting cards, and her signature perfume, SwitHeart, will continue to support various animal rights organizations as part of Loretta’s endless campaign to end animal suffering and cruelty.
