Louise Fletcher

She was born on 22 July 1934.Both of her parents were deaf.,so she learned sign language at a young age.Won best actress Oscar for 'one flew over the cuckoo's nest'.

The film got its name from a familiar tongue twisting Mother's Goose Children's folk song,

Vintery,mintery,cutery,corn,
Apple seed and Apple thorn,
Wire,briar,limber,lock,
Three Geese in a flock,
One flew east,
And one flew west,
And one flew over the Cuckoo's nest.

East and west are diametrically opposed,Nurse and conman (Nicholson's character) are combatants,opposite factor in the story.Cuckoo's nest denotes the hospital filled with "Cuckoo" patients,who are swayed and influenced by both of them.The one that flew over the Cuckoo's nest is the Giant,'deaf mute',chief,who in the end escapes from the mental hospital.
