Doreen Lewis, Goldie Hawn’s tough Army trainer foil. For her part in the film, Brennan garnered an Academy Award nomination, and for the TV series won an Emmy for best supporting actress in a comedy, variety, or music series, and was nominated twice more.

Following the accident, Brennan also began to struggle with an addiction to pain medication and alcohol, which she later beat.
