Louise was born into a family with deaf parents, but she along with her siblings did not have any hearing loss problems. She was taught by an aunt to speak, and her aunt also introduced her to acting. She attended the University of North Carolina, and after graduating went to Los Angeles where she worked as a secretary, and took acting lessons by night.

In 1958, she started appearing in various television series ,such as “Lawman” and “Maverick”. The following year, she appeared in the original “Untouchables” TV series, as a guest in one episode. She also made a guest appearance in “Perry Mason”, and in 1960 was cast in the western television series “Tate” as Roberta McConnell. After just doing a single major film in the 1960s, she returned to film in 1974 with “Thieves Like Us”, directed by Robert Altman. This started to increase her net worth and opened more opportunities for her. She was cast in “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest” as Nurse Ratched, and the film gained her recognition internationally, winning her an Academy Award for Best Actress, plus a BAFTA and Golden Globe Award.

She then had mixed success; she had several critically and financially successful films while there were also other projects which were failures. Some of her more popular roles during this time included “Exorcist II: The Heretic”, “The Lady in Red”, “Firestarter” and “Invaders from Mars”. Other films she had from the 1980s to the 1990s included “Two Moon Junction”, “Blue Steel”, and “Cruel Intentions” in which she played Sebastian’s Aunt. In 2005, she appeared in the film “Aurora Borealis” alongside Joshua Jackson.

Over the course of her career, she has also appeared in a lot of television movies, including “The Karen Carpenter Story”, and “Nightmare on the 13th Floor”.

Louise Fletcher Quotes

• [2012, on why she can no longer bear to watch One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975)] I find it too painful. It comes with age. I can’t watch movies that are inhumane. I was really shocked in those scenes where I was actually so cruel.
• She and my uncle were very sociable and would have a lot of people over at night to play cards or whatever. The high spot of those evenings was when we kids got dressed up to do a skit or something to amuse the guests. I loved it.

• I really would rather have gone to New York, since all my training had been in theater, but I didn’t have the guts to go there alone. I knew only one person in New York, and that was a man. What I needed was a woman. That’s the way Southern girls thought.
• Life had stopped for her a long time ago. She was so out of touch with her feelings that she had no joy in her life and no concept of the fact that she could be wrong. She delivered her care of her insane patients in a killing manner, but she was convinced she was right.
• Live television drama was like live theater, because you moved without thinking about the camera. It followed you around. In film you have to be more aware of what the camera is doing.
• That’s the main reason I gave up my career after John was born and I was pregnant with Andrew. I could not handle going away day after day. The thought of going away before they got up and coming back after they were in bed was intolerable.

• [In sign language to her deaf parents, upon winning the Oscar for Best Actress] I want to thank you for teaching me to have a dream. You are seeing my dream come true.
