Gwen Farrell Adair, the actress known for her role on the iconic television series "MAS*H" and a trailblazer as the first licensed female boxing referee, has passed away at the age of 94.
Her son, Keith Farrell, confirmed to TMZ that Adair died on Wednesday in Sherman Oaks, California. The cause of death has not been disclosed.
Adair's career spanned both entertainment and sports. She appeared in several episodes of "MAS*H" during its historic run, earning recognition from fans of the show. However, her impact extended far beyond the screen. In the 1970s, she broke barriers by becoming the first woman in the United States to receive a professional boxing referee's license. She officiated numerous bouts, paving the way for future generations of female officials in the sport.
Her contributions to both television and sports have left a lasting legacy. Adair is survived by her son and other family members. Details for a memorial service have not yet been announced.
