She gets lovelier with age

Swit's character on the show was a lusty, capable head nurse. Fans got to know her as a woman with both beauty and brains. This was about 47 years ago so you may wonder what this woman looks like today.

The good news is that, despite being 81 years old, Swit still maintains that beauty she came to be known for. Take this photo of the actress, for instance, when she attended the fourth annual Roger Neal Oscar Viewing Dinner Icon Awards. in February 2019.

Her personal life
