M*A*S*H Star Gwen Farrell Adair Dead at 93
Published May 1, 2026 at 8:44 pm
Gwen Farrell Adair just left us, and she was WAY more than just a TV actress. The M*A*S*H star—who died yesterday in Los Angeles—was actually a total trailblazer: the first licensed woman boxing referee in history. Yeah, you read that right.
Her son Keith confirmed to TMZ that Gwen passed away, but details about her death are still pretty sparse. What we do know? She lived a seriously legendary life. While tons of people remember her from the iconic Korean War comedy series, her real claim to fame in some circles was absolutely breaking barriers in the male-dominated boxing world. That takes guts.
At 93, Gwen left behind a legacy that went way beyond Hollywood. She was the kind of woman who didn’t just show up—she showed up and changed the game.
