Louise Fletcher

Born: July 22, 1934 in Birmingham, Alabama, USA

Learned sign language at a very young age, as both of her parents were deaf. When Fletcher neared the end of her (spoken) Best Actress Oscar acceptance speech for One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975), she finished with a unique (unspoken) touch in American Sign Language: “For my mother and my father, I want to say thank you for teaching me to have a dream. You are seeing my dream come true. Thank you.” (29 March 1976).

QUOTES:

‘Doctor Who’ is really close to my heart, and I felt like I was a part of it at the best time, with Russell T.

I’ve got children and it’s still this one thing that I feel incredibly proud about, when my children are in the playground with their friends and they know about ‘Doctor Who’. It’s a great feeling. I can sit down with them and watch the new ‘Doctor’ with my kids.

The cast of ‘Vikings’ is a real team, a true ensemble. It’s a mad, eclectic, great bunch! But we support each other and trust each other completely. There are no egos.

I prefer to stay in shape through doing activities I enjoy, such as climbing, hiking and exploring.

With period dramas, it’s very easy to get excited because I love to do them.
