Everybody talks about Nurse Ratched (and for good reason) but I primarily remember her being an asbolute motherfucker as Kai Winn on DS9. Bugger. Nurse Ratched is one of the best baddies ever. Thoughts go out to Louise Fletcher's family and friends at this difficult time xxx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 (edited) She showed up as the matriarch of the whole clan in the US one. She was only in four episodes, but she showed up, died, and left them a fortune in buried methamphetamine EDIT: Oh! If I recall correctly, she was buried WITH THE METH and they had to exhume her corpse to get at it. Then there was a whole bunch of other shenanigans that of course resulted in nobody getting rich off it.

RIPPA Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Quote Sacheen Littlefeather, the activist for Native Americans who declined Marlon Brando’s Oscar for “The Godfather” on his behalf at the 1973 Academy Awards, died Sunday at 75, the Academy of Motion Pictures said. She had been suffering from breast cancer. In June, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences apologized to Littlefeather for her treatment at the Oscars that night. Littlefeather attended an in-person presentation of the apology at the Academy Museum on Sept. 17. At the Oscars, she was only given 60 seconds to read her speech on Native American rights, and was then escorted off the stage with audience members booing. “He very regretfully cannot accept this very generous award,” Littlefeather said to the Academy Awards audience in . “And the reasons for this being are the treatment of American Indians today by the film industry… and on television in movie re-runs, and also with recent happenings at Wounded Knee.” She was allowed to read her full speech at a later press conference, and it was printed in the New York Times. Raquel Welch, Clint Eastwood and Oscar co-host Michael Caine were among those who criticized her on-camera for disrupting the ceremony. Littlefeather, born Marie Louise Cruz in Salinas, Calif., became interested in Native American issues in college and participated in the 1970 occupation of Alcatraz Island, adopting her name during that time. After college, she joined SAG and reportedly met Brando, who took an interest in Native American issues, through Francis Ford Coppola who like Littlefeather, lived in San Francisco. ----------------- Though she had a few small roles in films including “The Trial of Billy Jack,” Littlefeather said she was blacklisted in Hollywood after the Oscars, and returned to San Francisco to continue her activism and work in theater and health care. https://variety.com/2022/film/news/sacheen-littlefeather-dead-marlon-brando-oscar-1235390968/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted October 3, 2022 Author Share Posted October 3, 2022 I honestly wasn't sure if her passing went here or the general RIP thread. That said, I found out about it via a tweet from the Academy. Yeah, the one that just apologized to her for being such shitheads about... well everything. She's got a fascinating story to tell, and I think the ultimate irony would be someone making a movie about her life and that movie winning multiple Oscars.

Robert S Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 I looked up who of those 50ies stars are still around and realized that actresses in big post war Hitchcock movies had a pretty good chance to get old: Eva Marie Saint (98, North by Northwest), Vera Miles (93, The Wrong Man), Tippi Hedren (92, The Birds and Marnie), Kim Novak (89, Vertigo) and Shirley MacLaine (88, The Trouble with Harry) are still alive and Doris Day (The Man Who Knew Too Much) reached the age of 97. Ingrid Bergman and Grace Kelly push the average down a bit, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(BP) Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Gaslight’s often misattributed to Hitch. She was in a remake of The Lady Vanishes, but I think that’s as close as she got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
