Nahahara, who died Sunday after battling cancer, played Nurse Kellye from 1973 to 1983 on the iconic sitcom, a role that began as a background part but grew in prominence with each season. Nakahara was working as a bank teller when she got into acting, as she told the M*A*S*H Matters podcast last year.
