I don't think it was in the movie. But carol Honeycutt was BJ's wife who is often spoken of and appears in a photo in the episode when the families of MASH 4077 have a reunion.

But definitely in the TV show.

It's a well-known newspaper, and the film is about that newspaper, and it's from 2017.
Also, it got 2 Oscar nominations, one for Best Picture.
And you probably did hear about it.
(It's a great film, imo)

during or after 2017, so I looked into it for the answer.

I had not heard of it.

Excellent movie.

Reese Witherspoon received an Oscar nomination for Best Actress, and Laura Dern was nominated for Best Supporting Actress,
playing Strayed's mother.

Which I heard read on the air a few years back on a local community radio station; that's where I first heard about her.

(Also, photos of the real Cheryl Strayed are on the closing credits of the movie; and she even looks like Reese Witherspoon)

[Reese should have received the Oscar, IMO...Julianne Moore won it that year for "Still Alice"]

Any guess on that off topic Mr Natural trivia question I threw at you yesterday?

Here's another clue: The harp wizard, Sonny Terry got the credit, but his partner, Brownie McGhee backed him up on the guitar.
