Here is a Biography an Unauthorized Biography of the Late Hollywood Oscar winning actress Louise Fletcher better known around the world as Nurse Ratched in the classic “One flew over the cuckoo’s nest 1975.” For Years I kept asking Louise over and over and over if she would allow me to publish her Biography but she would not Authorize it and I did not publish it. Now almost twenty years on and after her death last year I thought it the right time to publish this book and add my own personal correspondence with the actress which lasted twenty years. Louise Fletcher herself was always amazed by my interest in her work and my enduring interest in her as an Actress. It’s an Unusual story of a working class person from Wales and A high Profile Hollywood Actress who just became friends. This Book is in dedication to her life and work which what can one say struck a cord with me personally.
