· Sep 24, 2022 · NottheBee.com

Louise Fletcher, the legendary actress who immortalized herself as Nurse Ratched in 1975's "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," died on Friday at 88.

She has a fine and extensive catalogue to celebrate, but perhaps her most moving public performance was the speech she gave after winning the Oscar for playing Ratched, in which she signed a thank-you to her deaf parents:

A class act, through-and-through. Rest in peace, nurse.
