Actor Born: July 22, 1934 in Birmingham, AL Biography:"Louise Fletcher"'s acting career can be divided into two stages. She started out appearing on television shows such as "Wagon Train" and "The Untouchables" during the late '50s, but left acting in 1964, two years after marrying movie producer "Jerry Bick", to raise a family. She did not return to her craft until appearing in "Robert Altman"'s well-regarded feature film "Thieves Like Us" in 1974. "Fletcher" then appeared in the spy thriller "Russian Roulette" (1975) before "Milos Forman" cast her in what was to become her signature role, that of the iron-willed, sadistic Nurse Ratched who tormented "Jack Nicholson" in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (1975). Her believable portrayal won her a Best Actress Oscar and a Golden Globe. Perhaps the highest honor is that her Ratched has become a movie icon, one that has been frequently emulated and parodied in numerous subsequent films.
