3. Louise Fletcher Can’t Watch the Film

Fletcher won an Academy Award for her work in ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest’ but said of her performance in a 2012 interview, “I find it too painful. It comes with age. I can’t watch movies that are inhumane.” She exuded a quiet evil in the role that was far more sinister and effective than if she overtly overplayed it.
