Jeff & Ryan throw the book at Linda Kelsey on this episode of MASH Matters! Linda played Lt. Mickey Baker in the season 5 episode “The Nurses.” Linda’s M*A*S*H memories include marveling at Loretta Swit’s iconic speech, blowing her audition, smooching with Gregory Harrison, and sustaining an injury while filming a pivotal scene. We also discuss her five-time Emmy-nominated role on Lou Grant, the genius of Gene Reynolds, and her recent return to the stage. Plus, Jeff & Ryan close out the episode with a long-awaited announcement!
