Gwen Farrell Adair Had Eight Acting Credits to Her Name
Gwen Farrell Adair was a popular figure on television sets during the 70s and early 80s. However, most of her television work came via uncredited small roles. She got her debut in Black Gunn in 1972 and then went on to film Soylet Green in 1973. Spots on Coffy in 1973 and Earthquake followed.
However, she is best remembered for her uncredited spot on Starsky And Hutch in 1975 and her 26-episode run on M*A*S*H between 1972 and 1983. Gwen played the role of Nurse Wilson throughout those 26 episodes.
Following her role in M*A*S*H, Gwen stepped away from the acting world. Nevertheless, with the show's popularity, she has undoubtedly been on many of our television sets throughout the years, potentially even to this day.
There is no further information regarding Gwen's impending funeral, nor whether her memorial service will remain private.
