The Watercolour Artistry of Loretta Swit

TVC 693.1: From January 2017: Emmy Award-winning actress Loretta Swit joins Ed for a conversation about her lifelong interest in watercolor painting, her “proprietary relationship” with wildlife, her vast stage career (including her then-recent portrayal of former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt), and, of course, a few questions about M*A*S*H. Loretta Swit passed away on Friday, May 30 at the age of eighty-seven. At the time we spoke to Loretta in 2017, she had just released SwitHeart: The Watercolour Artistry & Animal Activism of Loretta Swit, a collection of sixty-four full-color paintings and drawings, all done by Loretta herself, and all accompanied by anecdotes and stories about Loretta’s life, career, and work on behalf of animals. All proceeds from sales of SwitHeart will continue to support various animal rights organizations as part of Loretta’s endless campaign to end animal suffering and cruelty.
