Louise Fletcher’s career can be divided into two parts. She began with television shows in the late 50s, but in 1964 she quit acting two years after marrying producer Jerry Bick. And did not return until ten years later, Robert Altman offered to play in his film Thieves Like Us.
The next year she got the role, which brought her a Golden Globe and an Oscar in the nomination “best actress”, but forever left the actress in the memory of the audience as a nurse Krysched from “Flight over the cuckoo’s nest”.
Fletcher was born in Birmingham, Alabama. Both of her parents were deaf. After graduating from university, Louise tried to play during her summer vacation. She then moved to Hollywood and found a job as a registrar before breaking into television. Beautiful, lanky Fletcher was sometimes taller than her partners, which greatly slowed down her career.
But after the success of Flight, she was guaranteed a long-term television contract as a character supporting actress. And since she was invited to the cinema, but not enough, Fletcher made a good career in the theater.
