Nurse Ratched from the 1975 film One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is as sinister as they come. Behind her plain exterior is an evil tyrant who intimidates and abuses patients at a mental hospital. Of course, her position as the head nurse assures she never gets caught and everything is pretty much under her control, that is until one patient tries to escape.
There’s a reason that One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest was the second in history to win all five major Oscars, including Best Picture, Director, Screenplay, Lead Actor, and Lead Actress, which went to Louise Fletcher for the role.
