Kellye Nakahara, the actress who played Nurse Kellye on MASH has passed away today.
One of the most well known "background" characters in all of television history, Nurse Kellye was seen in over 150 MASH episodes, all the way from the Trapper/Blake days right up to the memorable final episode. Nakahara was always a pleasant addition to any scene, whether she had lines or not. Sometimes her facial expressions alone could bring a lot to a scene.
Nurse Kellye was always in the background, except for one WONDERFUL episode in the final season where she got center stage in a storyline involving a secret crush that she always had for Hawkeye. Nakahara more than held her own in a couple of dramatic scenes with Alan Alda. Kudos to MASH for giving her a chance to bask in the spotlight for once.
RIP
