Eileen Saki

Minako Borgen (November 18, 1943 – May 1, 2023), known by her acting name Eileen Saki, was a Japanese-American actress. She was the final and longest-running actress to play Rosie, proprietor of Rosie's Bar in the television series M*A*S*H. She also had a small but memorable role in the season 5 premiere episode as the head Madam of a coquettish group of prostitutes.

The switching of actresses in the role of Rosie mimics the actual handing over of the real-life Rosie's Bar during the Korean War from mother to daughter. Alan Alda became aware of this when he received a letter in the early 1980s from the real Rosie Jr. about the incident, a copy of which is available in the book The Last Days of M*A*S*H by Alan and Arlene Alda.

Saki died from pancreatic cancer in Los Angeles on May 1, 2023, at the age of 79.
