Before Mike Farrell was rich and famous from his infamous role of B.J. Hunnicutt, on the classic TV show M*A*S*H, he did commercials for Maytag. I was lucky to be able to meet Mike on three occasions after he became famous on M*A*S*H. I don't think I would have had a desire to meet a spokesman for Maytag dryers, I'm pretty sure of that. I did have a desire to meet one of my favorite TV characters, and the real actor who created that character. In my opinion, they are one and the same.

I have met most of the cast of M*A*S*H and the majority are just like their characters, either good, or annoyingly bad. Can you guess which female actress / character that I'm referring to, when I say "annoyingly bad"?

I thought you might enjoy the Maytag commercial that helped pay Mike Farrell's mortgage, before he became rich and famous.
