One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest : Loise Fletcher was chilling….

Loise Fletcher was chilling….

….in a role that Ellen Burstyn had to turn down and ended up winning Fletcher an Oscar.

Fletcher's Ratched was a cold as ice, manipulating, narcissistic k<>t! While Fletcher has been criticized for giving a one note performance in some circles, that she was so hateful and despicable in her role is only to her credit. Fletcher in reality, comes across as warm, radiant and giving.

Was it a stretch for her, I'm not sure it matters. Her face spoke volumes about the kind of woman Ratched was. Bravo!

Ratched is probably one of the worst film villains ever portrayed. She's legendary.

And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

Beware the sound of one hand clapping.

The shame is on your womb intrusion where it wasn't wanted. You will pay dearly, so sayeth the devil.

She played a similar character on Star Trek Deep Space Nine.

Re: Loise Fletcher was chilling….

I haven't seen that. Fletcher works in well with certain roles and strong direction. If left to her own devices, she flounders or is campy.

She plays a self important religious figure on the show.

Re: Loise Fletcher was chilling….

She would have likely relished that. That was a role of a lifetime for her playing Ratched.

Re: Loise Fletcher was chilling….

She reminds me of my former manager

Re: Loise Fletcher was chilling….

There are a lot of man-hating women bosses around like Ratched.
