MINI BIO:

Louise Fletcher was an American actress of forthright manner. Born to deaf parents, she acted steadily in TV series during the late 1950s and early 1960s but retired in 1964, re-emerging 10 years later with two excellent film portrayals of treacherous, unsmiling women -- 'Mattie' in "Thieves Like Us" and 'Nurse Ratched' (Best Actress Oscar) in "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest".

One of the other Best Actress nominees in 1976 was Ann-Margret, who was nominated for her role Tommy (1975). Coincidentally, both films featured Jack Nicholson.

Her role in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) had been turned down by Anne Bancroft, Ellen Burstyn, Colleen Dewhurst and Jane Fonda. Bancroft and Dewhurst turned down the role because they found it anti-feminist and downright misogynistic.

After her divorce from producer Jerry Bick in the late 1970s she caused a stir when she, then in her 40s, began dating 21-year-old Morgan Mason, the son of actor James Mason.
