Andrew Bick, his son, told The Hollywood Reporter that he had died of natural causes on Friday. He had survived two bouts of breast cancer.
The actress won the Oscar for best leading actress in 1976 for her portrayal of the ruthless nurse Mildred Ratched in Milos Forman’s adaptation of Ken Kesey’s 1962 novel of the same name. The film also won awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Leading Actor, and Best Screenplay.
In her acceptance speech that night, she used American Sign Language to thank her deaf parents and thanked the audience for hating her.
His interpretation of the character in the film was so memorable that the Netflix streaming platform made a series called “ratched” in 2020, which tells the origin story of the nurse turned villain.
Born Estelle Louise Fletcher on July 22, 1934, she was the second of four children.
She married producer Jerry Bick in the early 1960s and had two sons, John and Andrew. Fletcher divorced Bick in 1977 and is survived by her children, according to the Associated Press.
