Oscar and Emmy nominated actress Sally Kellerman passes away at 84

Sally Kellerman, the Oscar and Emmy nominated actor who played Margaret ''Hot Lips'' Houlihan in director Robert Altman's 1970 film ''MASH,'' has died. Kellerman died of heart failure at her home in the Woodland Hills section of Los Angeles on Thursday, her manager and publicist Alan Eichler said. She was 84. Kellerman had a career of more than 60 years in film and television. 

She played a college professor who was returning student Rodney Dangerfield's love interest in the 1986 comedy ''Back to School.'' And she was a regular in Altman's films, appearing in 1970's ''Brewster McCloud,'' 1992's ''The Player'' and 1994's ''Ready to Wear.'' 

She would work primarily in film in the years following ''MASH,'' including 1972's ''Last of the Red Hot Lovers'' and 1975's ''Rafferty and the Gold Dust Twins,'' both with Alan Arkin, 1973's ''Slither'' with James



Caan, 1979's ''A Little Romance'' with Laurence Olivier and 1980s ''Foxes'' with Jodie Foster.

She would work into her 80s, with several acclaimed television performances in her final years.

She starred in the comedy series ''Decker'' with Tim Heidecker and played comedian Mark Maron's mother on his series ''Maron.'' ''Sally Kellerman was radiant and beautiful and fun and so great to work with,'' Maron said on Twitter Thursday. 

''My real mom was very flattered and a bit jealous. I'm sad she's gone.'' And in 2014 she was nominated for an Emmy for her recurring role on ''The Young and the Restless.'' 

Kellerman was married to television producer Rick Edelstein from 1970 to 1972 and to movie producer Jonathan D. Krane from 1980 until his death in 2016. She is survived by her son Jack and daughter Claire.
