Thus far, at least, actress Louise Fletcher's one truly iconic role was as the hapless Nurse Mildred Ratched, nemesis of delightfully crazy Jack Nicholson in the 1975 film One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
Fletcher has been in a long list of movies since that time, incluuding Exorcist II: The Heretic two years after Cuckoo's Nest, and has had TV appearances on Picket Fences and other shows.
Despite this substantial body of work, most movie fans will forever remember her as Nurse Ratched, the role for which she won the Oscar for Best Actress.
