It was a role that no actress wanted (they offered it to several, all of whom turned it down) and Louise Flecther rose to the occasion. I also love her acceptance speech - one of the best that was ever made - because it is truly honest and heartfelt and not made for show as so many others. I also think that she got the Oscar for this role because she played Ratched as morw than just a stereotypical villain...There is a scene where she leaves the ward after her shift has ended and she lloks totally lonely when she walks down that aisle on the ward. Ratched is clearly a committed nurse, but it is also suggested that her life apart from that is empty.

Her message at the end to her parents has always been one of the sweetest.

This is mid May, 2022. I'm 68. This is the first time I have ever seen this woman in 'real life'. I had only seen her in Cuckoos Nest. She is shockingly Sweet. Tender hearted. Kind. Humble. Sincerely grateful. Bravo.

I’m actually offended that the cast from that movie have not expressed condolences for Louise, like Lovitz (who also worked with her in another film), Tia Carrere, Mekhi Phifer, Guillermo Diaz. Each of them shared scenes with her and that film is arguably the only thing my age group knows her from unless they’ve seen ‘Cuckoos Nest’ as well.
