Versatile and talented actress Louise Fletcher, born July 22, 1934, passed away yesterday in France. She is best known for her Best Lead Actress Oscar-winning role as Nurse Ratched in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. The American Film Institute named Nurse Rached as #5 villain in the 100 Years of the Greatest Screen Heroes and Villains. She won a BAFTA Award and a Golden Globe for her performance.
For Trekkies like me, I liked her best as the antagonistic Kai Winn, later Vedek Winn in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. She was nominated for 5 Online Film & Television Association Awards for her performances on Deep Space Nine.
