BREAKING 'M*A*S*H Star Kellye Nakahara Dead at 72

Kellye died Sunday after a short battle with cancer. Her family was with her when she died at the family home in Pasadena ... this according to a family member. We're told she went peacefully.

Kellye, who was born on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, actually moved to San Francisco as a young adult not to pursue acting but rather a career in art. She was on M*A*S*H for the entire run of the show. In case you didn't know ... M*A*S*H was considered one of the best shows ever produced on TV. It still lives in reruns and syndication.She married David Wallett in 1968 and they had 2 kids. She also has 2 grandchildren.

Kellye was an accomplished artist who was awesome with water colors. She loved making XMAS ornaments and one even hung in The White House. She and her husband were active supports of the Ronald McDonald House.

Condolences on her death. Reading the caption sparked a question I’ve long wondered (zero sarcasm intended), what was the appeal of the show?

As a lifelong M*A*S*H fan I'm saddened to hear of Nurse Kelly Nakahara's passing. She had such a sweet and enduring presence throughout the show especially one of my faves S11/E1 Hey Look Me Over. Condolences to her family and friends. RIPNurseKelly

I loved her. RIP 😢

So sad.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I've always loved Nurse Kelly. Prayers for your family. 💜

How sad :(

Can’t we reserve “dead” for the bad ppl (ya know; dictators, shooters, abusers)? And can we say “has passed” or”passed on” or even “died” for those who are so special and for whom so many of us have loved and admired for so long. RespectTheMemory RIPKellyeNakahara ⛑🕊 Please.

How very sad!! She made the show very real! Great person to watch!!

Loved her! Sorry to hear this news.

Kellye Nakahara was one of those stars of a series who didn’t need to topline or even appear in the opening credits. Her performances were so memorable, especially the episode in which she complained to Hawkeye that he never noticed her like he noticed the other nurses. R.I.P. 😢

I absolutely loved her. She and her character were inspirational to me, a wallflower and a nurse.

RIP

Rip
