Handful of performances that one sees in their lifetime, usually in your early years, that you can never forget, this was one of mine. She was so GOOD in M*A*S*H that it was hard to watch her do anything else and not think of that character.

She played Marc Maron's mom in "Maron" and she was good there as well.
