'M*A*S*H' star Judy Farrell dead: Nurse Able actress was 84

Judy Farrell, known for her role as Nurse Able in the TV show “M*A*S*H,” has died following a stroke.

She was 84.

Farrell’s son, Michael, told TMZ that his mom passed away Sunday in the hospital nine days after suffering a stroke.

Complications from the stroke made the actress unable to speak, but she was conscious, alert, and able to squeeze her loved ones’ hands, he said.

Farrell was in eight episodes of the hugely popular “M*A*S*H,” a sitcom set during the Korean War that ran from 1972 to 1983.

Her first husband, three-time Emmy nominee Mike Farrell, joined the show as Captain B.J. Hunnicutt in 1975 and stayed through the series finale.

She also appeared in TV shows “Get Smart,” “The Partridge Family,” “Quincy, M.E.,” “Emergency!,” “Benson” and “Fame,” as well as films such as “J.W. Coop” (1971), “Chapter Two” (1979) and “Long-Term Relationship” (2006).

She also wrote on the daytime soap “Port Charles” from 1998 to 2003.

In 2018, she recalled a particularly memorable — and humorous — moment with series star Alan Alda while filming “M*A*S*H.”

“I did an episode where Hawkeye goes to fix a gas stove in the nurse’s tent and it blows up, making him temporarily blind. Alan decided to make it so he really couldn’t see. I ended up being the nurse who led him around, except I was always bumping him into stuff because I didn’t know how to lead a blind person around,” she told the Hollywood Reporter. “At one point, Alan turned to me and said, ‘Do your children trust you?’”

Judy and Mike married in 1963 and divorced 20 years later.

She married Joe Bratcher two years later, in 1985.

Farrell is survived by Bratcher and her two children with Mike, Michael, and Erin.
