Louise Fletcher - ©Theda Bara

The name I highlight in this post is that of the award-winning American actress Louise Fletcher, who won the Academy Award for Best Actress in 1976 for her performance in the film “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” (1975), playing “Nurse Ratched”.

In addition to the Oscar, Louise received a BAFTA award and a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in 1976 for “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”.

Louise Fletcher is yet another award-winning actress who passed away without having the honor of having a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Estelle Louise Fletcher was born on July 22, 1934, in Birmingham, Alabama, United States, and died on September 23, 2022, in Montdurausse, France.

Louise Fletcher was married only once, to producer Jerry Bick (1923-2004). They married in 1958 and divorced in 1978. The couple had two sons: businessman Andrew Wilson Bick (1958-) and Hollywood literary agent John Dashiell Bickz (1961-). Fletcher took an 11-year break from her acting career after the birth of her children.

    My friend Theodosia,
    "Louise Fletcher" was an actress who made good films and received well-deserved awards from the American and British Film Academies.
    Another excellent cinematic biography.
    Kisses!!!

    Não sei se já vi algum filme com essa atriz, embora o rosto dela me pareça bastante familiar. Você nos apresenta tantos artistas que eu fico confuso. rsrsrsrs

    She had a very difficult role in Cuckoo’s nest and played it perfectly

    Si que recuerdo la película por la que logro esos premios, mas por el titulo que por haberla visto, ya que en esos años creo no podía verla por la clasificación que creo la dieron en España que podían acceder solo los mayores de 18 años.

    Saludos.

    I remember her best from her role as the nurse in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"... she played it brilliantly!
