Marilyn King, the last surviving member of the King Sisters vocal quartet, passed away last Wednesday (August 7th) at the age of 82. Her singing career spanned six decades and she also made a few television appearances, including an episode of M*A*S*H. King played the unnamed lead singer of The Miller Sisters, the fictional vocal trio featured in the Season One finale “Showtime” (originally aired on March 25th, 1973).
The other two Miller Sisters were played by Joan Lucksinger and Jean Turrell, both of whom have no other acting credits per their Internet Movie Database entries.
Obituaries for Marilyn King can be found at The New York Times and The Los Angeles Times.

That picture is of Joan Lucksinger not Marilyn King. Get your facts right or don’t post.
The article at http://mash.wikia.com/wiki/The_Miller_Sisters also identifies this singer as King (and provides a little more bio on the other two).
Don’t be a d**k help out matey don’t just go boots in!!

Marilyn King really was the main force in The Miller sisters line up. Great singer and dynamic personality.
Were the Miller Sisters ever an actual “trio” as shown in the M*A*S*H episodes, or only a Duo per various album covers and some bibliographies?
Also would someone be kind enough to let me know the song titles as used in the TV series and where I can obtain the complete and same musical arrangements as I have had no luck myself.
Thanks,
