- I don't think that John has answered this -- has he gone away for
- the holidays or has the backhoe hit again? In any case I believe this is
- the Louise Fletcher role in _One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest_. She plays
- a strong-willed head nurse in an insane asylum -- and enter misfit Jack
- Nicholson and then do the sparks fly. The movie won Oscars for Best
- Picture, Actress, Actor, Director and Screenplay in 1975. I don't
- recall the context in which this came up so can't make any more cogent
- comments.
