RIP Nurse Ratched.
8:44 AM PDT, September 24, 2022Louise Fletcher, the beloved actress who won an Academy Award in 1976 for Best Actress for her portrayal of Nurse Ratched inAccording to multiple reports, the actress died Friday at her home in the south of France. The Milos Forman film -- based on Ken Kesey's 1962 novel -- went on to win five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor , Best Actress, Best Director and Best Screenplay. The film received a total of nine nominations.
While Fletcher hit stardom following her portrayal of Nurse Ratched, it almost didn't turn out that way. For starters, despite having a long career that spanned six decades, Fletcher was relatively unknown before she landed the Ratched role. She had just returned to acting in 1974 -- one year before's release -- after stepping away for about a decade to raise her family.
Several leading ladies -- from Angela Lansbury to Ellen Burstyn -- all turned down the Nurse Ratched role as they were afraid the conniving role would typecast them or affect their careers in some other form. Thieves Like Us"She was all wrong for the [Ratched] role, but there was something about her," Forman wrote in his memoir,."I asked her to read with me and suddenly, beneath the velvety exterior, I discovered a toughness and willpower that seemed tailored for the role.
Not only did the role garner her an Oscar, Fletcher would go on to etch her name in Hollywood lore after being named in the"100 years... 100 Heroes & Villains" list by theStar Trek: Deep Space Nine
