RIP Ms Fletcher

Who doesn't think of her when dealing with some nasty RNs? And they are out there in various medical facilities.

I was an usher at a movie theater when the movie came out, her performance as Nurse Ratchet has always remained memerable to this day. You could really get into disliking the character she played.

Portrayed the most visually memorable character that I can think of.

What a disturbing movie. She deserved her Oscar.

I liked her, what is not to like about a nurse that is in complete control?

She was incredible as Nurse Ratched.

Another actress’s character that fans of the rare female great psycho or bitch might like is the gal in ‘Play Misty for Me’ with Eastwood.

For the younger crowd she had a recurring role in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine as Vedek Winn.

The nurse was a role Angela Lansbury was offered and declined.

I preferred and became most familiar with Fletcher as the religious leader on Star Trek Deep Space Nine

We were watching her in a Perry Mason episode from the 60’s. So cute with big beautiful eyes.

Even when she played nurse Ratchet, she was much prettier than the way they made her up for that part.

She was a totally believable bitch in her role in “One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest.” This is an attribute to her immense skills as an actress. She was probably a really nice person. I will miss her skills in film.

I loved when nurses were all white uniforms and white hose and garters etc

It was hot

And they were skinnier

I can’t believe how fat hosp women workers are now

But I get lucky usually my cardio nurses are hot and young

I can still remember at around 9 I stayed with a buddy in his room on twin beds and his comely Nurse mom around aged 28-32 came in in her slip getting ready early with her big pointy brassiere on and she was buxom but slim and she got her gear and came over it being pretty early around 6-7 am and she kissed him goodbye and then leaned over and gave same to me on my cheek
I caught that flat tummy and her stocking feet and cleavage spilled around the top of the bra
She was tan it being summer in Natchez

I had no idea why of course at that age but I remember feeling a flush of warmth all over

I told my mom in later years and her being moms bestie since high school my mom said man she would die to know how you still remember that early moment of awakening

When she died of cancer in the late 2000s I said a small prayer and thanks for her

Ratchet was not unattractive despite the character personality

Good performances but not my sort of movie

I’ve known me some nurses as a grown man

You could do worse

A lot worse

Played her role to perfection. The caretaker for the opioid supply in the asylum.
