captivating characters

A MASH rerun was on tv tonight ("Hey Look Me Over"), and it featured one of the secondary characters, Kellye Yamato (played by Kellye Nakahara), and it was so nice to see how her storyline progressed -- she was such a well-rounded, smart (she fixed the autoclave!), empathetic (she comforted a dying soldier), confidant (she gave Hawkeye a well-deserved tongue-lashing) person. I was totally captivated by the episode, and by her character. I don't remember her being featured too many other times, but she's listed at imdb as doing 167 episodes, which is quite a lot. I will have to keep my eye out for her when I see the other episodes.
