Loretta Swit was 34 when she started playing Margaret on M*A*S*H in 1972 and 45 when the series ended in 1983. How much did she and her character change over the years? Check out this gallery to find out:
Season 1, "M*A*S*H -- The Pilot"
The gallery features screenshots from two episodes from all 11 seasons of M*A*S*H.
Margaret’s look changed perhaps more drastically than any of the others during the course of 11 seasons – especially around Season 8, when she routinely changed her hair styles, not to mention how so much tanner her complexion became; she was virtually unrecognizable.
I have to say that Margaret looked exceptionally attractive in her scenes with Frank in “The Price of Tomato Juice”, if anyone is able to capture a screen shot.
