 Louise Fletcher Biography :: Hollywood.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Fletcher's rather abrupt fame dissipated following the critical and box office failures "Exorcist II: The Heretic" (1977) and "The Cheap Detective" (1978), and nothing could change the fact that she was already middle-aged in a youth-obsessed Hollywood when the Academy had smiled on her.
Many actresses had passed on the role of Ratched, refusing to play a part so utterly lacking in sympathy, but for Fletcher, it was her ticket to a prolific career, one in which she would often portray equally unsympathetic characters.
Much of Fletcher's frequent TV work (she made four TV-movies in 1997 alone) has been standard pabulum, but she has graced the interesting likes of the darkly hued "Last Waltz on a Tightrope" (PBS, 1986); the story of transsexual Renee Richards, "Second Serve" (CBS, 1986); and the biopic "J. Edgar Hoover" (Showtime, 1987).
