Karen Philipp is an American singer and actress. She first came to national prominence in 1968 when she was hired as one of the two female vocalists in the second iteration of Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66, debuting on Brasil '66's Top 10 best-selling album 'Fool on the Hill'. She remained with Brasil '66 and its successor group Brasil '77 until 1972, when she left to play Lt. Dish in the first season of M*A*S*H. Though her role was written out of the series after only two episodes, her distinctive appearance and flowing blonde hair were featured in the opening credits of M*A*S*H for several years afterward. Philipp also had a Playboy pictorial in September 1972. She had a recurring role on Quincy, M.E. as Robin Rollin. She went on to marry movie producer Pat Proft with whom she had a son.
