Sally Kellerman "Hot Lips Houlihan in Person! with M*A*S*H
Join star Sally Kellerman at a special screening of Robert Altman's comic classic Movie Q&A Book-Signing Patio Garden Reception
As the original Major Margaret "Hot Lips Houlihan" opposite Elliott Gould, Donald Sutherland and Robert Duvall in Robert Altman's iconic, wildly successful 1970 black comedy M*A*S*H (upon which Alan Alda's long-running TV sit-com was based), the incomparable Sally Kellerman etched herself indelibly into the minds, hearts and for many, the deepest fantasies of an entire generation. As Kellerman recounts in her fabulous new memoir- aptly titled READ MY LIPS -legendary independent filmmaker Robert Altman was so taken by KellermanSALLY that she became one of his favorite actors in such classics as Brewster McCloud, Welcome to L.A., and Prêt-à-Porter. She also starred opposite Alan Arkin in The Last of the Red Hot Lovers; with Jodie Foster in Foxes; with Sir Laurence Olivier and Diane Lane in A Little Romance, and as Rodney Dangerfield's love interest in the zany comedy Back to School. Still sexy and sultry and with that unmistakable seductive, velvety voice that has made her "Queen of Voice Overs" (Wall Street Journal) in animation and commercials, Sally Kellerman continues acting even while performing as a cabaret singer and recording artist. The evening's interview will be conducted by CAC favorite Foster Hirsch. In READ MY LIPS: Stories of a Hollywood Life, Kellerman shares colorful tales of a struggling young actress waiting tables with Jack Nicholson, bringing espresso to the likes of Marlon Brando, Steve McQueen, and Warren Beatty, and being invited by Ringo Starr to "drop over" while out watering her lawn one morning in her bathrobe. There follows accounts of landing a prestigious Verve recording contract, dating Henry Kissinger, and otherwise making the transition from the innocence and repression of the 1950s to the free spirit of the late 1960s a spirit that still clings to her as the essence of off-beat, sexy cool.
